My friend has several orange trees in her yard overlooking the Napa Valley. I took some home today along with this picture. Yum.
Convert from RAW, levels, shadows & highlights, hue & saturation (reds), sharpen. All adjustments were done lightly and of course, globally.

I like it! Great to see something in its "natural habitat". Composition is great and I love the vibrant colors. It does look oversharpened and not in focus, though, and that will probably pull down your score significantly. In any case, there's something about this image, probably the colors, that honestly makes me happy! Yay! :-D
For me, if the lighting were a bit brighter and a little bit sharper focus, I would have scored it higher. I do like the tight composition and the contrasting colors.
Where's the shine on those oranges? Unless the shine is added after picking. But these are organic so I doubt that. I never seen an orange while it's still on the branch. Are they flat naturally?
