Description

I knew we were staying at a nice place (a suite @ Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas)... so I thought, 'How nice', when we entered our suite and saw a delicious bowl of cherries. I had to laugh at myself when I tugged at the faux fruit...

My favorite fruit, I can see why you thought they were real! They look delicious! hehe. I love how you handled the composition and lighting in this one Carolina. You've elevated them to Royal Cherries! #181810

Carolina K. Smith October 25, 2004

Thank you, Patricia :)
I LOVE cherries as well. This was shot at ISO 6, 60sec, f/13, 24mm. Only light was the lamp. That is the lamp base behind the 'cherries'. #867765

Beautifully captured, Carolina! The look good enough to eat! I can see why you were fooled! #868496

Carolina K. Smith October 25, 2004

Thank you, Colette, Charlene, Debra, Darren, Lori, and Dan for your consoling comments!
I do take full responsibility for my actions (ha), but note that in many places, it seems the bright lights of Las Vegas are saved for the neons and the stage :) #868562

Robin L. Wehrman October 25, 2004

Wonderful composition and capture of color and light here, Carolina, especially the golden sparkle on those faux cherries! Hope you at least lined up three of them on the slots!! #869080

Carolina K. Smith October 25, 2004

Thank you, Robin, Bill, and Carol.
Not a lot of action on the slots, though they're fun to watch, but there is alot of really great food!

Thank you all for your kind comments :) #869472
