Generally I like this. My suggestions: Take the gloves and knife out, and soften the background a bit more and try to have a little less shadow on the front two tomatoes still on the vine.
very good, nice colors, the tomatoes look really delicious, but I would prefer something else in the background instead of flowers, maybe tomato plants or other vegetable. nice work, 8
This is the first fruit (/veggie) picture I've seen that has actually captured my interest for more than the initial scan-and-vote, and yes, I'm a fair ways through voting. You made this a lot more interesting by use of the knife (seems a little clean to have just been used, btw, but maybe I'm missing it due to angle) and cut tomato; the garden gloves are also a nice touch.
I keep going back to the knife. I think the fact that it's as shiny as it is doesn't just bug me because it seems too clean but because it draws the eye away from the tomatoes, which I'd presume were more likely your main subject. Maybe the angle of blade could have been different -- I wouldn't change the light as I think it looks good as is -- or maybe a slightly less shiny knife would have been useful in this case.
In any event, overall I really like this. Even without the flowers in the background I would have thought of this as 'in' the garden with the other hints -- I've done almost the same thing, picked veggies and eaten them while still outside -- so it's a familiar idea to me. (And fresh, sun-warm, ripe tomatoes are yummy.)
