this should do really well, the red really picks this up and the spoon and fork really answer the challenge...could it have done with a little side cropping? maybe a sqare crop with a black frame would have lifeted it a bit???

Really nice take on the challenge....I think that the bright yellow background takes away from the subject however.

I really like Yanko's comment below with the suggestion of focus point on the seeds towards the back. Perhaps also if the bottom, with the backgroud was cropped out? Lovely colors! Now I'm hungry for fruit... :-)

I like the lighting and would love to know how you avoid reflections. Good demo of refraction, nice use of a touch of color as well.

Comment by Nanate:
The black background worked very well in this one to bring out the texture in the shells. You got a great composition too. Good luck.

Comment by melismatica:
Excellent lighting and great capture of detail. I'm not crazy about this composition. I would rather see the smaller flanking one of the other shells rather than placed in the middle. I feel like the shells should be arranged to form the classic triangle shape a still-life painting. This arrangement looks a bit literal and soldierly to me. Also, I'm not sure if the reflections work that well, although they probably would if the shells were arranged more as a group.
