 Just cropped, contrast, resize. I really like the simplicity and warmth of this picture. It was an impulse shoot in the yard- I'd already spent three hours and 100+ shots on a different idea, when I walked outside for a break and saw these. Anyway, hope at least some people enjoy/appreciate it :)

Super idea. Hot spots are just too overpowering! BOL

Too much light I think.

The sunlight's very harsh here.

sun kissed it a bit too much... wish the highlight wasn't totally white. I think some fill flash woulda helped.

I think the light is a little too blown out

Looks as though you're trying to light things worse than I do and almost succeeding. Shame because it could be a nice pic.

Several areas overexposed.

Beautiful tonality on the underside of the peach. It glows! The top is so hot it hurts my eyes, though, as is that one leaf on the left. Perhaps a little something to diffuse that harshness would have given you the 10s this shot almost deserves...

Sure it meets the challenge, but is it a good photo? What makes it a good photo? The focus is not very good and the lighting is horrible.

The blown highlights are overpowering in this image.

A little too bright.

I wouldn't show this to anyone. Aside from the non-interesting subject, the technical quality is just nonexistent.
 07/07/2005 04:27:28 PM
too much of a contrast between light and shadow. the leaves in the foreground being blury takes away from the subject for me..

there is frame on only the left side of this image and it very thin.....it is white which makes me think that u might have messed up a crop or enlargement of the canvis.....

other than that it is a very soft image... - the over exposed spots this image is fine

a slower speed (ISO) should've been used or a faster shutter...then the over exposed portions would not be so vast or bother some to the eye

Looks a little over exposed on the top of the peach...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I really like the fuzziness of the peach...but ...the image is a bit overexposed...if the highlights were toned down a little everything...esp. the colors... would be a whole lot "juicier" : }

highlights way over exposed. hard to look at for that reason. compositionally, the left leafs are distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/06/2005 07:24:16 PM
The overall concept is great, but unfortunately some of your highlights are really washed out.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/06/2005 04:25:59 PM
Shooting outside is a very contrasting affair, I'd close up the aperture more, and use a white reflector to fill in the shadows.

Nice subject, bit overexposed, and larger DOF would have improved it, I think.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The lighting is too harsh in this photo, IMHO.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the comp and colors. The focus seems soft and there's a bit too much glare. Tough time of day to take this shot, Great idea.

Looks a bit overexposed - all your highlights are really blown. Otherwise very nice, especially the texture in the peach fuzz.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/06/2005 09:54:29 AM
This is a good idea. needs a little contrast though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/06/2005 01:49:34 AM
YUM. I wish the sunlight weren't so harsh.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 07/06/2005 12:36:50 AM
too blown out...
