Comment by Dave Gordon:
The oranges look yummy - I can almost smell and taste them. The hot spot (water? juice?) in the foreground just looks messy.

Good shot; lighting is a bit harsh, and I think it would have been better without the reflection of the lights at the bottom. Actually, a nice black, velvet background would have really brought out the orange color. Which by the way, it might be my laptop, but it looks a tad yellow rather than orange: when I first looked at it I thought it was a lemon.

Smell, yes. Image with visual interest, not overly.
Background doesn't add anything and harsh reflection of light in the liquid on the grey surface seems to attract my eye more than the oranges themselves.

Too tighly cropped (or not tight enough). Straight on flash a problem.

Unsure if the juice between the slices works but a quality shot.

I would have thought this was a lemon if the title didn't say orange :)

Nice, but I would have liked to have seen lighting from a different angle. Orange on right is cropped a little too tightly. Good luck.

Ye olde sports. Great theme and composition. I like how you captured the shadow on the left side of the picture and the light on the right. Kind of gives it the dark knight vs. the good knight. Very yinyang-ish.
The angle helps with the composition. It brings your eyes toward the center with the help of the pertition in the middle.
I like the sephia, but it would be interesting to see this in color also. Usually the knights are wearing really beautiful bright colors.
