Greetings from the Critique Club!! :~)

Overall, the idea of this is clever, especially with the rhyming title. But I think it stops short after that. It would have served you better had the fruit and coins had more of a deliberate placement. As it is, they just look kind of thrown in a sporadic fashion, with no intent. The focus could use some work as well. When doing a close up type shot, it is imperative that it be crisp and sharp to detail the subjects used. The black background serves as a perfect backdrop for the vivid green of the limes and the shiny silver of the coins, but both of them lack a little in the oomph category as far as I'm concerned. If it had been me, I think I might have taken three limes and put them in an interesting pattern, or maybe even three in a row with the dimes sticking directly into them, or stacked on top of each other in front of one, making it more of a geometric shot. From seeing some of your other images, I know you have a creative eye and your imagination is always working. Keep up the work and I hope find my suggestions helpful!! All the best, Judy

I can't find the focus point here. A bit more work in photoshop could have made this one better.

Everything seems to be slightly out of focus, and the wrinkles in the background are a little distracting. Increasing the saturation and contrast would have helped this image.

A bit out of focus, but I like your creative take on the challenge.

Great imagination. It looks slightly out of focus, but it may be your camera.

none of the dimes are in focus, and the colors feel a bit off.

This is a little boring for me. I wisht the colors were more intense, the black cloth were less apparent (perhaps fewer wrinkles?) and the lighting a little more interesting. Sorry.

The exposure looks off to me, not against center composition. Maybe different angles and better exposure would had helped......4

Could have used a little more light. I think you could have conveyed the same idea with a picture that is quite so busy.

how did a crazy combination like this make it into the challenge twice so far. THe lighting seems to lack any drama.

Out of the box! I like it. Unfortunately I don't think it's very well executed. The focus seems a little soft and the wrinkled fabric takes a lot away from the composition.

Please look at the other "Dimes & Limes". That is more of what you should be shooting for. More interesting composition and tones.
