Generally I'd prefer more dof to include the other lemon. The highlights on the front lemon are harsh making them blown out and the dark spots on the lemon aren't appealing. I do like the color saturation, and the water droplets on the surface of the plate. The composition is very nice too.

Nice sepia, not too sure if it is right for this particular picture tho. Good freeze.

Good composition. The lighting may be a little harsh. I know you probably went with the tight DOF to capture the foreground lemon the most, but I feel that if all the lemons were in the same DOF it would make for a stronger shot.

very nice composition... I also appreciate the shallow depth of field on this shot. however, i would have possibly made a minor rearrangemente here :) I would have swapped the whole lemon and the cut piece in the center to bring out some more detail of the 'section'. Those pieces that are out of the dof in the background are attracting my attention because of the 'detail'... good work :) - setzler

Really great composition and bright, vivid colors. This is one of those shots I'd consider for my new 'kitchen' collection.

The composition of this photo is good, but the lighting doesn't help highlight the water droplets on the lemon skins, and the crop & angle means that a potentially interesting reflection off the surfacetop has been lost. I'd also suggest using a second light from the righthand side, to help bring some warmth to the colours.

I really like this but wish the slices had been in focus. Almost makes my mouth water, and had the slices been sharp, I'd be drooling. Just a thought and my personal opinion, though.

A nice, simple composition, good use of DOF, a bit too much light on the front lemon though. The whole image, while technically good, is not very interesting to me personally, nevertheless a very good job. Congrats!

Very nice use of DOF. I like the crisp focus foreground, and the soft focus background. The angle and framing/cropping are good, and the setup is very nice. Add some salt, and my good friend Jose and we've got a masterpiece. lol This is a very nice still life. The water adds just that small bit of extra touch that makes this special. Great shot, good luck in the challenge.
