this is really nice texture... I will comment on the lighting... I think there is no real problem with the lighting on this image, but it simply does not grab my attention.. It works well, but... hmm.. i don't really know what to say about it :) This is a good shot... :) = 7 - jmsetzler

For those that are just learning, like me.
Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.
Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.
Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.
Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.
There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.
If it had been possible, I think it would have been cool to focus on just one of the round thingys - like what is in the lower left. Good capture on the texture and detail, but it is just a little dark on the right for my personal taste. Still, a nice picture. karmat
great idea for a texture, and I like the shapes and shadows. the one thing that bugs me is the reflections (at least, that's what they look like. could be powdered sugar or something, for all I know). to get rid of that, you could try drying off the fruit better, or perhaps using a polarizing filter (though I've never heard of using one on fresh fruit, it just might work).
