Sorry. This doesn't work for me at all for a still life with fruit. Maybe (a big maybe) if I couldn't see the edge of the plywood and if the tonal range was better (basic levels adjustment) I'd give this a 4 instead of a 2.

Fruit? Frog? Fruit? Frog? Hmmm....what should I enter today? I know, I'll do both! :-) Honestly, it's "ok". The frog looks good...the apple seems a little flat (lacking contrast). A straight black background and an orange, lime, or lemon, and this would score 2 points higher. JMO of course. Good luck.

Ok. Going for the "artsy" look I guess. Given the context of the challenge this photo is probably getting crushed score-wise.

This Fruit Can Still Life

This could be an interesting subject with all of that texture. First, it needs to be in focus...additionally some strong side lighting would do wonders with this material. As is, I'm not really overly enthusiastic about this. Sorry.

Cute. Little bit thin on what I'd consider a "still life", but still...cute. :-) Good luck.

It's ok...but um, fake?

A Cherry Splash
by rrdjserv

Comment:
It can't be "still" if it's moving enough to make that splash now can it? :-) Personally, I've tired of "splash" shots being here for so long, but many will like it well enough. I think the lighting, reflections, anc interior bubbles in the upper-left of this glass will cost you some from the hardcore splash enthusiasts. In any case...good luck.

Nice use of props and the layout of fruit works fine. Lighting could be a little more subdued IMO, but overall this is a nice presentation. Good luck.

Another classic that's very well done. I like the tones and the lighting. So...how many comments do you have on those strawberries? :-P They seem so out of place. Good luck in the challenge.

I need some new backdrop material. This looks great! If I'm to voice any nits at all it's that the lighting is almost TOO evenly distributed. Well done overall. Good luck!
