In my opinion, this is the most underrated photo of the week. This got one of my 2 10s. I think it's original and well done - great texture, great shapes, good lighting, etc etc. Maybe people just don't know what okra is.
I love this photo! It's hard to say why. The vibrant colours, soft focus, and weird, alien shapes, as well as the contrast between the green areas and the darkness in the lower part of the photo. It's all very appealing to me. One of my 10s - lisae
this is my favorite shot this challenge. i love the perspective, the depth of field, the soft yet vibrant colors, and all that great looking negative space. just a great composition. one of the few 10s i give on this site.
Great balance of space vs. negative space. I like the stark GREEN. The lighting is super, and the background color is right on in that it quietly supports the rest of the image. Strong 9.
Simply and absolutely wonderful shot. I work in advertising and I have done dozens of magazine food ads and this is what I want to see..Beautiful presentation, color..very painterly and perfect...10..hokie
Someone who had never seen okra before once asked me to describe it...my reply was "a fuzzy green bean", which doesn't sound too appetizing. LOL. I like the photograph, but perhaps could have shown one cut in two, they have a nice shape.
This is about the ONLY vegetable I don't like...but of course I won't hold that against you.....lol Interesting perspective, but a little soft on the focus. Good luck in the challenge! Grayce...aka...Gracious
nice arrangement of the okra. i wish you could have used greater DOF ( and i'm aware that this may be a camera limitation) and there was a little less black in the foreground. -- gr8photos.
