Lovely work giving atmosphere and the real feeling of the teture/taset, feel of the subject with no colour involved. Tfruit just looks like a lingering kiss on the edge of the glass.
This just seems too blurred... I don't know if it is lack of focus or motion blur. Maybe a tiny bit of USM combined with an increase in contrast would fix it up. I also wonder if the color version might have been better.
its very difficult to look at food in black and white with any desire (to eat) what so ever Looking at this as an image of an object rather than food, you did a good job capturing the tonal difference between the contents of the glass and the salt and the ice. The drip is a nice touch. I think you should have taken the seed out before photgraphing. The blur of the background/piece of fruit detracts from the image but I like the composition.
