Yes, "landscape brain imprint", that is an unsettling thought...Best Wishes, Traveller

We are even - I am sticking with the portrait crop on the poppy.

Besides, I continue to think on the "landscape brain imprint" of digital photography.

BTW, I saw the presentation of the apple as a "welcome to my home"; a nice gift to the visitor.
That was my first reaction.

Traveller - I really like the concept, composition, and execution. But it does have a small red tint to it that I see, especially on your hands and shirt. It goes away when I set the white balance on your shirt. With just a little masking, you can keep the background wall the same if you prefer - I like it as it softens the photo.

No, not actually, but thanks for the reference. I didn't know that was the title of that painting.

Actually, a client gave me a whole basket full of these....I wanted something studio-like and suddenly I saw this in my mind's eye...a gift to the viewer from a gift to me!

But is it a Snow White type poisoned apple; an apple from the Garden of Eden, an apple full the evil of the knowledge of life?

Or is it a simple apple? Good for you....;>}}?

Inspired by Magritte's "Son of Man"?
