Comment by Gene L.:
Nice clean exposure and excellent detail. I also agree with the composition, simple and effective. My preference would be to get rid of the shadow and have the bottom lit a bit more to bring out the color.

Comment by Jonniboy:
Great idea! I think 2 things could have made this better. (1) sharper focus on the skin (2) getting rid of/moving the shadow. It's very dark and quite big. A small reflector would have softened this or using natural light. Also, did you try another background? Strong blue or even orange would have set the colour off better.

Comment by jmsetzler:
This is a good texture photograph. I do like the texture on the sufrace of the lemon. My critique on this photo is not an easy one. My mind imagines the bright yellow color of a lemon, because it has seen this many times before. The cast light on this particular lemon is making the surface look drab and unattractive to me. I do like the shadow that has been cast and I do like the position of the subject in the frame. I think the angle of the lighting is just messing up my mind's image of a nice bright yellow lemon :) = 6 - jmsetzler

It looks like the lemon has been squeezed. The texture is nice though....a little blurry. But I still like it.

The shadow seems to interfere, and it would have been nice to accomplish more DOF.

Kinda rough looking on the outside, I think. It would have been good, maybe, to slice part of the front off so that the viewer sees the pulp as well. karmat

shadow distracts from subject.
