Soft light on lemons...

Played with a stronger texture layer on this one. The texture was a free download from http://paintthemoon.net/blog/first-class-freebies/ptm_timeworntexturesamplesprev/. It came in the form of a PSE action. I added the texture to the whole image as a top layer, then erased the texture from the lemons and most of the bowl. There's a slight color to the texture layer (warmer than the actual image). So I then needed to paint the color (without texture) back on the lemons and bowl. The download site had good directions for installing actions and using them. I hope to try more in the future, but most of her actions are not free. So I'll be experimenting with the ones offered at http://www.thecoffeeshopblog.com/ first instead.

Really love how this turned out. Really diggin' the side light too.
