Nice angling of the swirls so that they point in a diagonal across the frame. I agree with posthumous that the black background seems jarring, not quite right.

Comment by posthumous:
It looks like you're showing off your ability to cut an orange peel. The natural light is the best thing about it. At least that gives a hint of reality, like there might be a real person nearby who wants to eat that orange. Having a black background works against you, though, brings me back to the "showing off" idea. Showing off might work sometimes in a competition, but when it comes to creating something that actual people in the real world will care about, it won't do.

You were dinged by the technique police on this one, but I do think the lighting itself is very nice. I also like the choice of view, profile is under utilized in my opinion.

Talk about a macro! Wow. It took my eyes a minuted to see those little guys down in there. I like it. Good lighting too - not too bright and overpowering.

Almost seems OOF (out-of-focus), still a great set-up...
