 I knew alot of people were going to do lemons, but my imagination has been drained recently :), It was fun though, and i'm sure i looked like a fool picking lemons for 10 minutes at the grocery.

Lit with a 60 watt GE "Reveal" light (bluish bulb, casts a whiter light than yor typical incandecant bulb)

Level adjustments and cropping in photoshop.

oh, and they made good lemonade :)

The light on the cut lemon is just a little too bright. If it wasn't reflecting, I would be able to see the segments. Good color and composition.

Good composition. Captured the lemons. Lighting a little harsh on the cut lemon. Maybe crop most of the foreground and show a little more beyond the lemons.

your lemons look orange. Hmmmmm... maybe a white balance issue.

Really like this shot - great composition, color and shadow effect. Looks like a still life painting. Great Job!
