 Fresh pomegranates dusted by snow... Cihangir, Istanbul, Turkey

Expecting a rash of low votes for the subject not being orange enough, even though the topic "Orange" included a phrase covering colors from red to yellow.

I took other photos that contained a more obvious orange component, but feel they were cliche, boring or less interesting, technically or otherwise. I'm entering this knowing it will probably get hit by some voters.

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting image that meets the challenge well.

When the challenge description gives you the scope it has in defining orange as a range of colours between red and yellow, some people will still see reds or yellows while others will recognise the variety of hues as you have here. To me this makes your shot more interesting in the variety of hues it conveys and the way in which you have done it in a unique and novel way. I like the comment from streetpigeon it recognises the potential the image has for different meaning beyond the basic straightforward we are pomegranates.

Your exposure is good though I wonder if perhaps you might have a little leeway for more exposure to pop the whites of the snow more without blowing the highlights on the front fruit. I like the tight crop it leaves us wondering just how much more of them there are.

I respect and admire that you had the self belief to submit your image expecting it to be 'penalised', thank you for sharing it here, Sid

Beautiful variety of oranges, gold through red, warm and cozy despite their setting. And something magical happens.... their wigs of snow endow them with personalities and they become a huddled crowd, perhaps watching the passersby. Personal favorite in this challenge.

to me I see a lot of red and yellows.. like the snow effect and the vision you seem to have with this
