Oranges are round!

I'm giving a lot of leeway on this because it's largely to do with artistic expression and personal taste, but for this particular challenge I think this would have been better composed if it showed one orange in its full roundness. I like the feeling of depth in this image, but the b/w is a bit perplexing -- seems like it would have really popped in color.

Oranges should have color to make them more sensuous

I didnt think the b&w done these justice, I would have been more drawn to the bright colour of the oranges

Maybe a little cropping, so the boy isnt' in the center (vertically) as much. I'd definetly suggest bringing up the shadows, so that the boy is less of a silhouette (fill flash in photoshop). Dunno, maybe you already did, and it was just a really bright day.

Cute and nice picture, just don't think it fit very well for patterns.

Ok. The problem with this picture is that if it were not for the title the viewer would not have any idea that he/she is supposed to see some patterns here. The title suggests that we should be looking at, possibly, patterns of the ripples made by the water. But if so, the little kid in the picture is distracting, the focus of the composition is certainly not on ripples. Which leads me to believe that the picture is really a vacation type snapshot and the dubious pattern in the picture is just an afterthought. Just my take on this (4)
