Gimme Red!

Quick.  I need your opinion.  This one is my entry for Click: Red! To get these juicy tomatoes I made a trip to my local vegetable market so I could have tomatoes with their green bracts still attached!

For Click: Red! I’m was leaning towards #2…liked the mood there.   But you are all right, the tomatoes are looking their best in #1!

Thank you all!  First one it is – the official entry for Click: Red!

  1. While the first one is gorgeous, RED is lost with everything else around it. Second one is simple, RED is prominent with a little bit of contrast. I like the second one.

  2. First one for sure…as it has the fresh red vegetable on the topic. It also has a hint of the dish on the side corner. And the natural light (how lucky) is perfect coming from the right side. I just posted my click picture on my website. :-))

  3. Although, the pear pic is simple but elegant… i think its also a little clicheed….i like the very 1st pic…as others have put it …the tomatoes look really inviting….good luck!

  4. they are all lovely. i would go with the 1st one. it is sensual, which will touch the judges on a visceral level, and the composition is classic. the negative space makes you hungry, and it is synchopated, like jazz.

    i vote 1! 😀

  5. I like the mood of no2, but I like the water on the tomatoes look in the first one… I think no1 appealed to me more! nice makes me want to eat one!

  6. Thanks everyone for your opinions! I am glad that two of you picked #2…but for Click it seems I will have to go with the overwhelming majority! #1 it will be!
    Thank you all for playing along!

  7. I chanced upon your blog looking for Punjabi Kabuli Chanas and am hooked.
    You remind me of Delhi winters and for some reason your “Khushwant Singh” genre of writing makes me very nostalgic about Delhi.

    The pictures are the icing on the cake.
    Thanks for keeping us “Delhi walla NRIs” hooked..:)
    BTW the chanas are a hit! Coming from someone who never cooked all her life in India! Spoilt Army kid..that’s me.

  8. Oh! I’ve made this salad! I can vouch for its edibility. 🙂
    I like mater portrait #1 as well; not only does it look like its straight out of a nice cookbook: it also features that salt-bowl you planned on sending to me! 😀

  9. Sorry, Helicano, but I got first dibs (and note) on the salt bowl. The pepper mill, too. You can have the tokri cos she already sent me one, and the olive oil and the tomatoes, which might be rotten by the time they get to you. Har! har! Har!

    Peace!

  10. Eh…I’ve had enough of the maters and EVO: made a mater/wine/cream sauce yesterday so’ve had my fill fer awhile…but a tokri! She sent you a tokri?! I want a tokri too…

    What’s a tokri?

    She is so bugging you… 😆
    tokri=basket.
