Great Texture and Lines that make the eyes dance around the photo! Basically Duo-tone, and quite well-down as such.

For me the tiny little button for the bell on such a large and ponderous-looking door adds a touch a whimsy that brings a wry smile to the face.

Pleasant in all aspects. :)

Please ring the bell.

great clarity, IMO I think that an addition of texture of some kind would really have helped this out...it's a good shot mind you...

Please ring the bell.

Would I hang it on my wall. Probably not, but I still like it. However I judge on what I would hang in my apartment. You will have to live with a 5 from me

Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that the shot is nice and crisp with some intrigue. Once I view for longer I start to see the issues.

Technically the composition is good but it's those dot things that balance the shot. The pears are a little too close to the left edge. The lighting is good in that is has the pears against a crisp white background but this is a double-edged sword in that it also makes the shot seem a bit sterile.

Artistically those dot things confuse us viewers. How do they relate to the fruit? Is this an "artistic" element?

In summary this has some really good points but I think the average voters was confused by those dots and the sterile feel.

Feel free to PM

me if you have any queries.

I like the pears and their positioning. Cute title to match. What the heck is that in the upper-right?!

Don't see the reason for the dots. Ad a little balance to the comp, maybe, but pretty out of place, IMO.
