Lovely use of very shallow DOF..you have really pinpointed the subject well.
It also suits the desat (although a little colour is still showing through in the wood grain).
One of my top picks.

I`m with Neil on this Jon,maybe cropping a little off the left of the image to where you had the original but including everything else, makes
it even more dramatic for me.

Incidentally, what lens did you use for this shot ?

Thanks to all for the comments.
I realise that I made a mistake by showing too much of the landmark location for most voters tastes..but to be honest, I felt that without it, the pic lost it`s impact.
Thamer..I try never to use the 640 pixels in the portrait mode as I hate having to scroll an image to see it all and thought that might be off putting for voters also...and at the end of the day, it didn`t really make a big difference to the image.
Skip...don`t worry about it,you voiced the same concern as most commenters, which I totally accept as valid criticism...and btw the same holds good should you receive a comment from me...I don`t have the best track record :)
Sweetlips..thanks for the kind words.

Beautifully sharp and the purple backdrop contrasts nicely with the lemon, adding impact to the image.

I like the abstract quality of this image with differing colours and shapes helping to add interest but retaining it`s "yellow" tone throughout.
