Commentary

I spotted the cherry tomato plant and it reminded me of my own somewhat neglected backyard "Victory" garden. I was able to select most of the plant using the magic wand set to various tolerances, although final clean-up was something of a bear. To add some depth and complexity, I duplicated part of the plant, flipped it horizontally and masked out a few leaves and branches. A drop shadow from the main plant was also added. I ripened one of the cherry tomatoes to add a focus and increased the overall contrast using a levels adjustment layer. The black background is a carry-over from the first image.
