I took these pictures of oranges a few days ago. We picked them from my husband's grandparents' tree when we were visiting family in Arizona after Christmas. There's nothing like fresh citrus! Even more than that, I love the smell of orange blossoms in the spring. I remember the first time I smelled orange blossoms when we lived in Arizona. I kept asking everyone what that wonderful smell was every time I walked outside. At first they didn't know what I was talking about. (I guess you grow immune to it after awhile or something). Finally, my husband's sister figured I was talking about the orange blossoms. Ahhh. Nothing like it in the world! I miss that smell now that we've moved away.
Now, to the orange shots: First one is SOOC.
For the next one, I did some adjustments in RAW: Exposure: +1.25; Shadows: 26; Brightness: +64; Contrast: +50; Saturation: +33
I played with some of Jess' Color Actions for the next three. I just bought these action, and they are really fun!
For this one, I used Color Me Happy. For this one, I used Warm Sunshine.
And for this one, I used Acid Wash (with some extra tweaking in curves).
Thanks for looking! CC always welcome!

OOOh what a great way to see the action!! I really like the acid wash..such a cool feel to the photo!
The second shot is my favorite...what great PSing. It's amazing at what we can do in Photoshop isn't it?
yes, that last one is just awesome! But the pop'd color one is my favorite, I didn't realize and orange could be so well, orange!
that's a great shot..my favorite is the 2nd one..the colors are so bright..i love it!
Holy smoke--I can't get over the difference all those actions make. Maybe I need to stop being so scared of PS.
The acid wash one turned out hte best! Great job. TOni

I like your adjustments even more than the actions! But it looks like I'm in the minority.. .
How fun! Great to see all the different effects.
Nice! I'm with Kristi (Yummiesmum), we see oranges everyday.... these are nice plays!
Those are so neat. Looks like you had fun with these. Great color on all of your PP shots. I like the second one best too.
I really the the first and last one that you played with in photoshop. Thanks for showing us all those actions. Who knew that an Orange could make such a cool picture? Maybe I need to take pictures of some oranges for my food wall in my kitchen!
A great example! I like the last one the best! Really artsy!
Amazing texture on the orange!

Those are some cool conversions, and I love your composition of this shot.
