They look tasty! The white bowl is very effective, and well placed compositionally. The lighting does seem just a tad harsh, and my eye gets drawn to the cherry at rear right, which is soft due to the fall off in depth of field.

i like how the straight lines in the background contrast with the roundness of the cherries.

Nice still life, good placement of the subjects.

I like t he color of the cherries but I think this would work better with a plainer background.

Decent shot of the cherries. Lighting could be improved though.

Now those look delicious! I like the black/red/white colors and your composition. You picked a difficult subject to photograph, the light can be tricky - I know from experience.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/16/2009 11:51:49 AM
bit dark ... and the light is also not very fortunate, this is just four from me ;D

cheers,

many i miss summer cherries. yum
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 06:03:38 PM
Those look nice and fresh, not like the bleached and recolored ones you buy at the store. Wish the focus was a little better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 03:43:42 PM
Nice DOF... rather self explanatory...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice food photography, lots of detail in the cherries, good rich colour.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice composition with the diagonal lines. Cherries looks yummy.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 07:40:29 PM
the light could be better and the background
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 07:37:10 PM
And they are cherry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 02:58:37 PM
Nice shot, but doesn't create much of an emotional response.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 09:29:02 AM
nice lighting and contrast of colors
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:38:55 PM
Hm. I think it would have been better if you were tighter on the bowl of cherries and didnt have the loose cherries and table top taking up most of the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:35:35 PM
The background and subjects have potential but I am not sure you achieved that here. I think it is the depth of field- the out of focus cherries in the back. Maybe try shooting from directly above and a more careful arrangement of the fruit. This looks hurridly put together.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:00:18 PM
Oh they look delicious. Beatiful rich colour and shine.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:38:03 PM
I would hang this in my dining room...bright and cheery...like the rich color
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:01:05 PM
I think this image should have been a hard overall focus, or a much shallower dof
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:15:46 PM
Good opposing darks and lights. Very design-like with nice highlights!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 05:08:56 AM
The lighting needs to be improved. I would recommend if possible bounced lighting for lesser shadows
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:15:00 AM
cherries are yummy
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:54:53 AM
beautiful richness
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:02:09 PM
Yum! I like the arrangement, and the white circle of the bowl against the dark striped surface. Nice shine on the berries.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:08:30 PM
A little noisy in the top back but love the subject matter.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:21:26 PM
Good enough to eat. Great color on the cherries but outside the bowl, on my calibrated monitor, it's too dark to see any detail. Good choice if you intended focus to stay squarely on the bowl of fruit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 01:22:20 PM
Nice detail, it looks as if I could take one and eat it!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:50:02 PM
well composed image, good colors
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:58:52 PM
Ummm. Bing cherries - my favorite. Nice use of white bowl against black background. Lighting may be a bit hot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:56:28 AM
too many cherries around the bowl, with only one or two ypu would have got a much cleaner, more graphic look. fruits don't look really fresh. lighting is too harsh and produces too many highlights
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:54:41 AM
Nice dark red colours.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Sharp. Defined image. Good bowl color choice for this composition. 7.

Interesting set up and angle. The lighting seems a bit harsh though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:50:44 AM
Good color, very sharp
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:45:07 AM
I like the use of the white bowl on black, simple and elegant.
