Many thanks to all who voted & commented on this. It is by far my highest placement at DPC, and I'm feeling really happy!
I really feel that had the Ice Bowl been a little more brilliant and glossy rather than gushy you would have made top 5. It just gives me the feeling of sticky and runny. Still one of my favorite pictures from this challenge though!
Very creative! Love the purples and yellows in this one. Some of those purple hues are nice, deep rich ones (those on the far right) that give this image a "tasty" appeal. The only critique is that because you had to freeze the lemons together to shape the bowl we don't get to see the texture of those lemons or the rich inviting colors. The ice obsures our view of the veins and beautiful yellow hues of the sliced lemons. Hmmm, toothpicks would not have worked to keep the shape but mayhap perhaps a light paste around the rind to glue it to a clear glass bowl would have helped so that the inner texture and color of the lemon would have been visible?? Just a thought.
