Wow. Excelent photo. I love the patterns. I think you might have some of the same problem I had with my photo though. I had gotten a comment about shooting "upward" into the sky and having the whiteish glares from the sky. I don't think it's distracting though. I think it adds a nice touch coming through the leaves. The focus and clarity are good. Angle is excelent and the framing is also very good. I like the patterns that the branches make. Overall great photo. Good luck in the challenge. ~HBunch7187~

apple

This is a beautiful apple. I think the lighting on the top might be a bit harsh, and the thing it is sitting on might be a bit distracting from the apple its self. The focus and clarity are very nice. I like the detail on the apple. The angle and framing are also very nice. Overall good photo. Good luck in the challenge. ~HBunch7187~

bowl of fruit

A couple of things.. I wish that either more of the bowl were showing, or less. I think that the dark rim in the front is almost distracting. The colors of the fruit are very nice. I might have prefered a more yellow banana, but this is fruit, not perfection. right? The focus and clarity are nice. Overall good photo. Good luck in the challenge. ~HBunch7187~

Hmm. Almost an "erotic fruit" photo here. Very beautiful photo. I like the contrast of the red on yellow. The angle and framing are very nice. Lighting is good. It's almost getting a bit bright toward the bottom of the fruit, but nothing distracting at all. The focus and clarity are great. Overall very nice photo. Good luck in the challenge. ~HBunch7187~

"Anjou Pears"
by Willa

Comment:
We have those same paper plates! I think they add a nice touch of color behind the pears. The focus and clarity are great. I love the detail on the pears. The background behind the plate adds a bit of "coutry" look. The angle and framing is great. I like how the pears are off centered, rather than centered. Great job. Good luck in the challenge. ~HBunch7187~

Syam...fooled us all. I liked this photo. Sorry I didn't get to comment, I've been sick and then out of town for the weekend. I like how you caught this with little background distractions. Great job. What? not even a comment from ClubJuggle? Shame on him! *big smile*.

Photo-Op, Big Sur

Hi General, sorry I didn't comment this week, I've been really really sick and then out of town for the weekend. Didn't feel that I could give up an honest opintion of anything feeling as crappy as I have. I don't usually tell what I gave, but since I saw your forum post,I'll let yo know I gave you a 5(By the way, I use the entire 1-10 scale, so a 5 is my "like it, but something bothers me" vote) and here is why...I think that you should not have cut the guy standing on the post out of the photo, but I think that you might have wanted to include him in it more. Maybe this might have had a higher visual impact from behind the woman with the camera a little more, and even with the hip shot could have aimed up a bit more to include more of the man. Taking you photo from almost the same angle as the woman's might have helped, I think. The lighting was great, and clarity and focus are also very nice. I hope this helps any. ~Heather~

Beachball

This is some interesting effects you tried here, but I don't know as if it apeals to me. the lighting is good for the effect used. The angle is ok, might have a more visual impact if the middle of the ball were centered in the photo. Colors are very nice, and reference to childhood is very strong. Good luck in the challenge.
