Neon Limes

The harsh light and some window's reflects could have been avoided and a black background could have hidden the strong shadows.
Interesting idea !

Nice slices of lime but you could have prepared a little better the set up and the lighting to avoid the strong shadows and the reflections from a window (I suppose).

I think you could have scored higher with a better lighting , I imagine this shot without the spot light on the apple , could have been really nice.

I like the composition , the contrast between the brown and green works great.

As it's basic editing , you should have been more careful with the choice of the different elements and the composition : the cloth under the wineglass , the background with wrinkles , the distracting reflects on the glass (from a window I suppose).
The idea is good , I like the decorated glass but you should have prepared better the set up.

Naturally Textured - Take II

From the Critique Club :

Hi Shailesh ,

Comparing with , I think that Naturally Textured - Take II fits much better a Textures' challenge.

The focus is great on the shell and on its reflection , really much better ; the details are very sharp.

Personally I prefer the first background , it's more neutral , maybe even less appealling at a first sight but orange/redish and sand color don't work too well together (imho).

Noise is visible too in this version and about the border , I have noticed that many voters/viewers generally don't appreciate borders.

Lighting is good , better than in the first one (no strong shadows , more natural look).

I agree with Neuferland you truly have improved your shot !

Please feel free to email me about this critique.

Noir et plein de charme...
Like a scene from a detective movie of the 50's , I love how you have recreated the atmosphere , the face hidden by the shadows only adds more mystery.

Very nice effect ! It's a nice composition with the contrast between a great blue sky and the concrete of the building.

First impression I had is the quality of your photo : the tones you chose and the focus.
I like the composition too ; the subject and title fits very well , cats love the sun and heat and the pupils of their eyes have the skill to adapt themself to the amount of light.
A very good idea very well executed !
