Can you explain what you don't like about #3, since you want one
thats between the two?

1. 3 has much more contrast (and gives the appearance thereby of being sharper, or maybe it is sharper) but i think the contrast is a little overdone, looking somewhat fake and oversaturated

I can imagine this looking so much better at f16 and 125th or
higher wit a little higher ISO if need be to get the shuter speed
correct. I would be outside in the sun with a white board or what
ever behind the bowl. I would even play with my 24-70L @ 24mm very
close up for some effect. For my tastes the grapes should all be in
focus.

Very creative idea.

Hey all,

I've been wanting to try photographing fruits splashing into water,
for some time now, well...

We had a party and had borrowed some punch bowls from my
girlfriends dad.
Filled them with water, on a chair against a white door, with 2
flourescent light bulps illuminating the space + built-in flash

D70s + 50mm f/1.4

aperture @ f/2.8
ISO 1600 (cleaned up in Neat Image)
Shutter @ ~ 1/400

Original Image



Version #1



Version #2 (personal favourite)
