To Bloom.. or Not

I like how you composed the blooming tree as the main focus and the smaller trees in the background. The curve of the road adds interest. Beautiful image!

I"m not sure I get the meaning? Are you portraying the light side as good and the dark side as evil?

Thanks to all who voted and commented on my image for the challenge. I got some helpful tips. Didn't do near as well as I'd hoped for my first challenge, but hey there are always more!

Black and White Apples and Oranges

First off, it was a good idea using the black as the base. I like how it dampens the reflections a bit so more focus is on the actual fruit. I like how you put the pieces of the apple and orange together. The leftover orange is too far away from the rest. It's almost like an afterthought. The other apple is too close in line with the nailed together fruit. (Is this making any sense?? LOL) Maybe sitting the half apple/half orange together, where one is just barely leaning against the other would have brought it all together in the center of the composition. On the other hand, there is just enough white background to balance. Overall, I think it's a strong shot.

Very nice take on the challenge. I like the symbolism of the flowers on the grave. The contrast and saturation in the grass is terrific. Nice composition, the person in the center is balanced out by the weight of the stones on the left. Great job!

OK adding the coffee beans was a great touch, gave it some wonderful texture. The composition and the angle of the tool are very nice. I don't see much rust in the photo though?

The leaf was not needed. I think it would have been much better without it. I like the texture of the rust against the wood.
