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 !

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 !

Hi Sarito !

Well , first I have to confess that I love cats , they are wonderful !
I have noticed that this one has been your model for different challenges , I hope you see him (?) in more entries , it's a beautiful cat.

Back to your photo I think that you could have worked more the post processing as advanced editing was allowed.

My first impression is that the background is "too" present and as Shutterpug commented the square pattern doesn't help much.A more neutral background would have centered more the attention on the lovely subject.

The light you used seems too "strong" , you maybe could have softened it , the shadows are very dark and the chin is burned and as it's quite centered on the photo I'm quite sure that voters have lowered their votes for this.
