It is Vietnamese customs to give offerings to all the lost souls during special times of the year so that they can be at peace and give the residents blessings and protection.

Good choice of subject for color's sake. Single-flash setup makes the backfield underexposed and the foreground slightly overexposed. With better lighting, this would be much better overall.
Wonderful colors here. Can't see why you didn't take the labels off...they do distract the eye. That arrangement of fruit in the background is so pretty! Good luck in the challenge! Grayce...aka...Gracious
This is a nice shot, but I feel it's too busy and lacks a central subject. Lighting is great, and the DOF works, so the shot itself is fine it that respect. In my opinion, perhaps and unusual angle or tilt of the camera would given some improvement. Sorry to be so negative… Good luck…
Is the title a reference to a cultural/religeous thing? The flowers in the background are dark and out of focus, the peach? in the foreground is also out of focus. The rest is fine. 7 Swash
Hmmm... I am culturally deprived. I see chopsticks, some incense, some fruit, some flowers, and some beverages. Based on the title, I may assume that we will be performing a sacrifice of live fruit? :)) - jmsetzler
i'm not sure i'm getting your title. as for the photo, yes, there's plenty of fruit in it, but overall, it is very cluttered with different items, colors, textures. there are too many things vying for my attention, and i'm not sure the fruit is winning the contest. -- gr8photos.
