Extraction Of An Abstraction

First impression - awesome shot but not really an abstract
IMO, being able to recognize this as a kiwi fruit right off tells be this is not an abstract. I know not all DPC share that opinion and the overall voting reflects that.
From a photographic standpoint, this image has a lot going for it. The composition is particularly well done. The eye travels down the spoon to the spread of seeds in the fruit then around the green letting the view take in the whole image.
I feel a real chill to the spoon and the fruit making the image even more intriguing. The line of focus in the lower left corner looks a little like it was selected and blurred in post processing. Hard to tell from your notes. If this is the case, I would recommend a smoother transition (more feathering) between the 2 fields.
The border is too wide as well. It takes attention away from the strong image.
Congratulations on your ribbon and execution of an exceptional macro!
I hope this was helpful. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
