nice idea, but the whole thing seems too dark and soft-focused

It won't grow if you don't plant it! Nice idea and interesting composition. Looks like there was some fuzz/spots on the lens, especially on the left.

Interesting crop. This stood out for me, as it was something completely different. Looking at it on multiple monitors with different profiles... unfortunately with a standard "bright" monitor this looks very yellow, and therefore looks more like a lemon than an orange. I like the juice droplet on the peel - might have been nice if you'd dodged it a bit to make that more apparent. Nice image :O)
