The mix of sharp and soft focus works well here - definitely gives a slightly dreamy aspect to the image - makes one think of festive holidays!

Oooh I do like this. I like the low-key nature a lot plus the toning really focuses attention on the textures of the pear and cloth. Nice.

Cute! Like the way the irridescence of the fly is mirrored by the sheen of the corn. All the horizontal and vertical lines plus the positioning of the fly within the frame make for a strong composition too.

How delightfully quirky! May be just me but horizon feels off-kilter - not enough to make it seem deliberate but enough to make my head feel off-balance! Other than that, really like hte composition, content, colours...

Like the colours, the almost abstract nature of the shapes and lines created by getting so up-close-and-personal and the colours against the blue backdrop

Interesting lighting definitely adds interest.

Nicely done - works really well. The colour and cleaness of the background enhance the foreground too.

Beautiful - black and white doesn't often work well for fruit and vegetables because the colour is so intrinsically associated with these items and affects our perception of them as food items but... it works really well here. Beautiful composition, perfectly exposed and nicely processed.

Beautiful colours and textures on display here, I love the veined orange and black leaf, the mossy green wood and the blue background. I like too the way that the stripes of the leaf mirror those of the wooden decking. I think the background is a little too cluttered shape and colour wise and would prefer the blue of the top right corner to prevail through most of the background but the image works as is too.

Great composition and square crop; nice use of shallow DOF to soften foreground and background; focal plane spot on providing clarity on that lovely catchlight in the eyes; simple but universal subject matter; works well in black and white. All good!
