Excellent take on the challenge... The white bowls offset the fruit wonderfully... It's obvious that lighting was a real challenge... you pulled it off beautifully... :)

I really like this image... beautiful subject and the colors are vibrant... It's been said often to avoid colored borders and in this case I tend to agree as it is a bit distracting with such a bold image... I've been holding things up to block the border and feel that no border at all would have been best... for me anyway... nonetheless a very nice image... well done... :)
