It's amazing how you can just crank these out like clockwork, Irene. You're my hero.

Congrats! (on the HM... not on being my hero. LOL! )

Wow! This is really well done. Composition (of subject as given) and crop is interesting and well-balanced. I think what will be the downfall of this image is that the plastic cup just isn't pretty. And folks here want pretty. *sigh*

Lighting is very good... gives interest... and not too dark on the subject... with that great black background. Focus and DOF are perfect.

The color is AWESOME! The details are incredible... even the wood! All very well done... just that darn plastic cup. I KNOW that's what the whole image is about... and it's very creative, just not a 'pretty photo'... especially if it's taken outside of the challenge and viewed.

As a 'wild hair'... try cropping out all of the wood, leaving the stem of the lower fruit included... just the black and the fruit...and it makes the cup so much better, in my opinion.

Oh so well done! I'm missing the stem on the left pair... *sigh* But, such a silly thing when it's all so wonderful! (Not voting) Very creative.
