Wrong background IMO for this style of shot. Sugar grains all over speak of lack of attention to detail.
Well foused
Centered composition was your only option here given the background .
With a bit more time and thought into this I bet you would have had a high scoring shot.
As it stands now ... A 5 from me

Good Luck

Good idea - and nice execution of the macro. Planned or not, the seed in the lemon adds a great visual touch. Perhaps it would be a bit better with a non-competing background, but that's a very minor point. Nice job.

mmmmm... beer!

Would have been much better with a different background. You might consider an inexpensive light box (you can get them in craft stores for about $15) for shots like this. Another option would be some good colored paper. The composition is quite nice and the lighting is not bad. A little lower and you would have shown a little more form to the mound of sugar.

Nice original idea

Good idea. I think the woodgrain distracts from the main interest in the picture.

Comment by boomer:
I had this idea as well, and didn't do it, for the same reason that your picture runs into problems -- how does one make white grains of sugar interesting? The table top background is not helping, and the composition of the lemon and sugar isn't particularly engaging. Yes, the picture meets the challenge but aside from that, there's not much going on here to reward the eye.

Good - sweet vs. sour does convey an "opposite." The wood-grained background is a bit noisy - but the dark tone certainly allows the light-colored lemon and sugar (figure) to stand out.

hooray, finally a decent opposite.
Well done.
I don't like the background though!!!
But what do I know?
