Chasing the Dream?

The components of this image appear very artificial and incoherent, but I can't quite work out what's in the original and what's added. I'm afraid it doesn't work for me.

Perfect Fit

I'm seeing a beautiful image of a beautiful object. Excellent lighting, composition, crop, colours etc. However I'm not seeing either a puzzle or something puzzling.

It's not what you think it is...

In silhouette (with a slightly sexier lemon/lime) it would have been more convincing. The obvious peel gives it away a bit too easily when it's lit. Clever idea though.

Probably ... the Most Frustrating Puzzle in the World!!!

As most of the workings of the puzzle are hidden, this image would have worked better if the set-up were reversed.

Well lit but I'm not sure about the composition. Looks a bit random rather than purposeful.

And Now ???

It's a good subject but too out of focus I'm afraid.

Surreal. I like the way the sky matches the chair, the pose, the colours and the sentiment. The only really minor niggle is the disturbance to the horizon at the right hand side. - 8.

Some Assembly Required

It's a very bright and colourful image that clearly meets the challenge so I can't see people voting it down for that. Exposure and focus seem fine, white balance seems spot on. The strong shadows might put some people off.

The composition feels a little 'tense', possibly because of the tilt on those towers. I find my eyes constantly moving around the outside of the image and struggling to find a single focal point. This makes me feel rather dispassionately about it. Personally I'd have given it a 5 or 6, so I can't understand the 3s you're getting. I'd have estimated this to finish around 5.5, but it may be scoring low because of the other 'cube' pics?
