Ooh, lovely bright, juicy yellow here, Karen! I am really enjoying the outer rind here. Though, something about the streak of light on the bottom right … perhaps that could be integrated into the rind a bit more? Is it intended to be a reflective highlight? Awesome subtle cast shadow and nice details in the pulp! You really captured the fresh, sunshiney feel here. 🙂
It’s really looking great Karen! I agree with Vern about that little streak of light. I would fill that in just a little bit. The seeds look just a touch on the gray side to me. You may want to consider warming them up just a bit – may with some bistre and some ivory?
Yes that streak is my attempt at the elusive and mysterious thing called a reflective highlight. Will follow up with your suggestions. The seeds are actually Polychromos earth green and some Derwent wheat. will try to warm them up
