Comment by Teafran:
This is what this reviewer has been waiting for - a perfect minimalist construction that combines the minimalist meme with impressionist ideals - the abstract reflection perfectly compliments the solid and properly composed subject with the added feature of zest stripes on the skin of the orange. An excellant composition and still life complimented by pleasing tones and colors set off brilliantly with the zest scraper. An extremely effective image - well done.

I love the richness of this all so contained in the mostly grey tones. I bet it is smashing at a larger size.

I really like this, simple but elegant, good leading lines, perfect composition, not over processed

I really liked the thumbnail but clicking through it's a little bit too sharp for me I think.

The shadows and the fence are gorgeous and the composition really works but the texture of the sand doesn't really work for me, I'd want it to be smoother instead of the one dimensional sandpaper look.

It's still a solid photo though. Also I am very well aware that the exact quality of the sand isn't under your control. A slightly different post processing might have changed the effect a bit though.

Very different and unigue - a solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being rich with excellant detail and the monotone approach perfectly suits the subject. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. Well done.
