258/365 - Jim - Strawberry

( f/8 #mm 1/250 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

My mother is here today and wanted a strawberry dessert, so she went out to Giant Eagle and got some along with shortcake and ice cream. We all had some and it was pretty great. I wish I had thought of doing this photo before she cut all the strawberries, because I had to use just a little chunk of one. With one hand holding the spoon and shutter remote, and the other hand sprinkling sugar on top, I took a few pictures simultaneously. I used a flash directly above with a grid spot to keep he light from spilling too much an illuminating the background.

I had an idea to take two things and split them down the middle. Looking around I wasn't able to find something that was the same, but different, so what better than apples and oranges. The orange was a little smaller than the apple, so that added a little challenge. I used Photoshop to merge the two together. Which one is more dominant to you at first glance? The apple or the orange? For me it is the orange, but I've also noticed that my right eye is more dominant than the left.
