I like your background color choice, it works well with the fruit. The lighting seems a bit bright, or maybe the photo is overexposed a tad bit. The image looks somewhat grainy to me. Nice idea for this challenge...
Okay, unless my monitor is way off, this is a lemon or grapefruit? Because it's coming up yellow and if it's a lemon or grapefruit, isn't your title a little "off" :) Don't you mean sour exposure? :) As for the shot, I love it, the yellow on the blue is a wonderful contrast of primary colors and the cropping, the fuit part way out of the shot is very well done. It does seems just a tad bright to me but it might just be the yellow coloring that's causing that effect. I'm starting this one at an 8 but I will be back.
The color in this image is quite powerful... almost too powerful. The presentation of the lemon seems a bit weak. The color contrast in the image is more powerful than the subject itself.
I think the blue background is too intense and draws the eye away from the interesting details of the peel and the fruit. a composition concentrating more on the subject and less on the bright background would improve things.
