The miniature pitcher in front of the large bowl of lemons give this image a subtly surrealistic feeling. The lemonade is unnaturally yellow, which adds to the effect.
my mind is not able to accept the proportions of the subjects....it either the biggest lemons i have ever seen or the smallest pitcher....also the back ground does not look natural but i'm guessing this is pool side and in the shade so OK. but really what's up with the proportions?
A teeeny bit hot on the citrus skins. The yellow is overpowered by the blue, and could almost be oranges on my monitor. Probably my Sony mis-showing, I hope.
The scale of the different items in this photo is freaking me out.. like an optical illusion. The lemonade looks like it's in a pitcher, but the pitcher is the size of a drinking glass (guess I've never seen one of those before).. Either that or the lemons are gigantic :). The blue background and the super yellow color of the lemonade is scary.
love the color combination. nice, simple composition .. lemons are a little overexposed. i like the shadows and directional lighting but the brighter areas are looking more white than yellow and losing their detail.
The blue is too bright for the tones in the rest of the image. Not saying it is fake, but that is haw it looks. Almost like it is way too saturated. I like the compostion and the light is good with the exception of a couple hot spots, I just wish that the tones would have blended better.
