Taken on the kitchen table. Lighting was 2x500w halogen lights. One aimed at the subject, the other bounced from the ceiling. I just love the colours, I think it's quite gross!

Thanks everyone for your comments. I've been a bit obsessed with shallow depths of field, so I might take some of the criticism on board and start experimenting with getting more into focus.
Too much of this is out of focus. You probobly couldn't help it with a macro like this, but having more in focus, and one psrticular subject that stands out would help.
The nature of the pulp of the fruit makes it difficult i think to see where this comes and goes in terms of focus, and that makes it difficult to see any detail of texture. There is a sense of mushy pulpiness to the image, but that alone is not enough to hold this viewer's eye for very long.
This is a dificult texture subject. The juice reflects light and you can´t reveal the textures. My first try out to this challenge was a apple and a watermellon. Both very bad. I had results like yours. A blured reflected surface. Your subject shows a bit of grains the compose some form of texture, then I will count it.
I love the unusual choice of fruit but the DOF is way to limited to most effectively convey the texture. Think I'd have also included more of the hairy peel.
