Great shot. The headline is not a headline...

I think if you gave youre shot a more "serious" title it would have more impact

Hi from the Critique Club.

This is a difficult one for me to critique because I know it's a ribbon winner, but it was really not among my favorites.

I think probably for me, the thing that most detracted from the photo was that there is so much going on. When I crop it to simply the oranges (and baskets) below that large chrome strip, I like it much better. The lighting and composition appear more snap-shotish to me.

I think the subject, the way all these oranges are laid out so nicely together, somehow could have made more impact. Maybe if the lighting was a little brighter or more interesting. Also, as I mentioned earlier, I would have come in closer to the oranges and left out all the upper part of the photo.

It seems I'm in the minority on this one and that's okay! I hope you find the comments helpful and congratulations on your ribbon!

Judy

Wonderful photo. Not such a wonderful headline... but never mind. I love the picture and it is one of my top picks.

Great shot. I think this is the thing that looks great centered. I think it loses a bit of impact off to one side. 7

Very nice shot. But the title doesn't sound like a headline.

Perfect plaement to make the silhouette. Newspapers love these as the high contrast makes it easier to print.
