Comment by lisae:
The light on the antlers is too harsh. It needs to be diffused by some tissue paper or something like that. I can't see much of the texture on the antlers at all, and there's too much light on the background. The composition is quite nice.

As I suspected, old folk do pills, mainline smack, and listen at doors.
The syringe points out of frame, it needs something to stop the eye going with it, maybe putting it behind something.

This is a nice shot overall, but I think it's weak on the challenge theme. The dark background makes me think the photo is contrived and not natural, therefore, the hand of man is at play in the photo? - setzler

The anal retentive side of me wants to ask whether the hand of man chopped the antlers off and put them in front of a black background... but still an interesting shot :)

It's quite hard to add any more insight into this picture as your comments have been very detailed and in my opinion, helpful. I think that your idea is great and I like the use of the water and reflection. The picture has a great sharpness to it. My previous comment was that i would like to see more of the lemon in the background, either through deeper DOF or through changing the composition and switching the two lemons. A bit more light in the background would also have been good to bring out a bit more detail and possibly a little less on the lemon in front. You have had lots of "makes my mouth water" comments, so I think if you could possibly change the DOF issue, then this would be a great picture! Good Luck in the next challenge!
