 yeah i was unsure, i wanted it almost completely desaturated with a slght duotone, and my friend though it looked good saturated. so i thought i'd compromise and slightly desaturate it ( because that sounds like such a grat idea right? lol) i regreted it almost right after i submitted it but it was too late because I submitted it last minute. 
 
 Once i get a membership i'll upload the one i liked to do it justice because i like the picture, just not colour. thanks for the comments though. |

		| Not sure if the subdued color treatment will go over well with everyone. I'll be curious to see where this places. |

		| The photo seems to lack color. Maybe it's just my monitor? |

		| The colors seem off to me, and overall a little oof. Nice compo, though. |

		| It's very dark.  With the red and green apples, were you going for this muted approach on purpose?  I would have liked to see more intense or saturated colours and contrast between the reds and greens.  I also think using the rule of thirds would have made this a more successful image (having the tower built on the right hand side, for example). |

		| It's very nice, but it also seems dark and for such colorful food, the colors are extremely muted. Did you try playing with levels and saturation? I making the colors more natural would help quite a bit. |

		| It's too gray, I'm sure you were going for something but it makes it dull and gloomy looking. Good idea although I think bright vibrant colours make fruit and veggie pictures more appealing. |

		| not sure about the colours, I think complete B&W would have worked better - red tomatoes are so cliched that slightly red looks washed out a bit. LIke the construction though |
