Too Much Pressure

Neat idea. I like the diagonal composition, and the contrast here between the organic orange peel and the metallic pressing... thing. Also the juxtaposition of bright orange against metal.

The soft focus on this is a great effect. It brings out those deep colours and the radial shapes of the kiwi fruit beautifully.

I love this photo! It's hard to say why. The vibrant colours, soft focus, and weird, alien shapes, as well as the contrast between the green areas and the darkness in the lower part of the photo. It's all very appealing to me. One of my 10s - lisae

Nice, experimental idea. I like the way you used lighting and overexposure in this :).

Forbidden Fruit

I've come back to this photo a few times and discussed it with some people, and here are the two main themes I see:

1) Very strong Biblical overtones with the apple and the title, symbolising the fall of man, expulsion from the garden of Eden, etc. That story has always struck me as very misogynistic, so I don't like it much, but I like the way you captured it.

2) This is a bit disgusting, but I also see a representation here of an engorged clitoris :). I like it, this is a picture full of sexual arousal. There's also the idea of someone eating the apple, ie. cunnilingus.

As a woman, looking at this photo makes me feel a bit gooey because of that second one, which is cool because there aren't many sexual images on DPC that women can relate to that way, they all seem aimed at tittilating men. I like what you achieved. It's not just that it holds all this meaning, it's also incredibly beautiful and technically perfect. 10!!!! - lisae

This is a kind of surreal image. There's something about the look on her face that I like, as though it's a perfectly normal thing for her to pose like this for a photo :).

Lovely study of colours and shapes.

Beautiful! This captures more than just the gorgeous spread of fresh vegetables, it says something about a culture and a way of life. Very atmospheric. I can imagine the haggling that must go on over that produce. One of my 10s - lisae

The Freudian symbolism in this photo is just RUDE!!! I love it :). Beautiful colours and framing/composition as well.

The colours and composition of this are breathtakingly beautiful. It's so wonderful that you managed to capture this as a candid shot. Did you wait by the stall for a woman in an orange sari to walk by? Very well done. 10 - lisae
