I kept coming back and back. I love the simplicity of the set-up and the fact that the old fashioned look and feel is maintained throughout the image: bowl, chair, fresh fruit, and tones are all suitably retro. Top 10. Voted earlier; back to comment.

Very nice. Duotones really works well with still lifes.

Tones are lovely, composition super. Bit of a shame that some of the fruit appear a tad over-exposed.

Nicely lighted ... shows well. BG is good and so are the textures. Good enough to eat I presume.

Interesting photo, I like the concept, would have liked this more if the boys entire shadow was showing and was on the wall, also think if the boy were looking into the frame instead of up and out this would have been better for me. Good job in keeping the detail on his shirt and the wall.

This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)

Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.

This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. So little colour, but so much of it! A magic trick to get the vibrancy of that red and bit of yellow to permeate through the entire image.

2. This bright light would scare some photographers off but here you've worked with it to tremendous effect.

3. We get the child and the shadow - excellent interplay.

4. The texture of the wall - it adds a lot. A truly blank space would have been much less interesting.

Great shot, masterfully processed.
