Avocado & Peppers
by Bear_Music

Comment by JunieMoon:
I thought the tones you were able to capture, especially in the lower left peppers, was pretty good. Not the easiest subject to get really great contrast, but you seemed to handle it pretty well. I ended up giving this one a 6, but I don't think I really looked all that closely at it when I scored it. That lack of color causes people to really bypass the black and whites unless there is a lot of contrast.

This is so unusual and the colours are lovely and vibrant. I think the seaweed may be a bit distracting and can't help wondering how this would have looked without it. A well seen and captured image for this challenge.

Those horseshoe crabs are quite interesting animals. Sad to see it dead... I just wish your shot was "more macro". This is not very abstract because you instantly know what the image shows. Anyway: great find, well done!

not sure about the orange. This might have looked more interesting with just purple laundry. Nice detail and focus.

The colors work so well, It looks like a collage of sorts.

Hi Robert, your photo is saying to me, "sun is rising, and the peace and stillness will be broken soon". If that is what you were trying to capture, then you've done a hell of a good job there. I like the colours on the grass. One little thing that distracted me is the cylindrical thing on the bottom-left corner of your composition.
