 OK so im pretty sure there will be lots of O's, but I really liked this photo and hope it does allright. I noticed the form while cutting lemons and placed it under a light.

While this is a very nice photo, I guess I am not drawn into it quite as much as most of the voters.
I find the bright outline around the very edge of the lemon to be odd and actually makes it look like it was cut and pasted. I'm not saying it was...just kind of looks that way with the combination of the gradient background and the glow around the edge of the lemon.
The focus and clarity are wonderful. Stunning detail with the veins. For the challenge, I see the importance of having the entire slice of the lemon in the photo, but I think that outside the challenge, I would like to see this as not so centered. Maybe fill just the upper left corner with 1/4th of the lemon or something. Just an idea.
I like the black and white because I think that it helps bring out the texture/detail in the veins, but can't help but wonder what this would look like with some color.
Overall a very nice pic with awesome detail and fits the challenge, but I'm not totally drawn in.

Edit to add that when I viewed this photo from the thumbnail in your profile, I could not see the bright ring around the very outside of the lemon, and this did have higher visual appeal (in that aspect) from the thumbnail.

This is a very interesting photograph. A very natural O.

Haha I like this. Very interesting, would have been funny if the background was yellow since it's a lemon. But that probably wouldn't have looked as cool. Neat idea, froggy. :p

intersting.. accidental.... no probably not you made a sphere into an O.. otherwise this is a pretty nice shot.. Lots of great details and shadow. Great shot.. but a little weak in meeting the challenge.

Interesting composition. I would have liked it a bit better if the halo around the orange had been a bit more even. The B&W highlights the veins and visual texture which would been less prominent if done in color. I'd be interested in seeing the color version of this though.

Very interesting photo (it almost looks like an x-ray of a sliced lemon or orange), original and VERY well executed, I believe, with great quality, definition and neatness. Congratulations.
