I love the long cloud below the cirrus and the colors from the sun are well captured. Overall, however, I think the photo is a bit dark and grainy.

I like the way the orange is very much in focus and very detailed, while the grapes are less so. Vibrant colours as well.

I did not vote this challenge. but for the record this would have been a three from me. the color,and light seem way to harsh. the framing with the extra space to the right of the model is also very distracting. because the image is so over exposed it is hard to tell where the Models eyes are focused...they almost seem to be "Wall eyed" detail is lacking.

Sorry:( I hope this helped a little.

Pretty lighting, and pretty colors. Little grain/noise However over all this is a fine shot. Maybe a bit less white counter or a tighter crop at the bottom.....? Just thinking out loud. It's good, congrats on a fine shot.

I'm not seeing how this photograph fits into the 'grace' challenge... There is a bit too much light for my taste, although I know that was the intention. The composition is good for a self-portrait.
