Apple of Discord


The story of the apple of discord tells about when the goddess of discord throws a golden apple into a wedding reception claiming that it belongs to the fairest of women. Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena all believed themselves to be the fairest and fought over the apple, ruining the party.
For this photo I first tried to make the apple look gold by painting over it with a gold color with the opacity down. I then emphasized the shines on the apple with a star-like shaped white paintbrush. I added a gaussian blur and then blurred the girls in the background a bit as well, erasing their outstretched hands.
