I was lucky to get this shot on the third lime wedge. The "Burst 3" mode of the camera really helps. Then, I used the leftovers to make a nice lime chicken with spanish rice.

Wonderful detail -- I'll bet we could identify this person though the fingerprints shown here! How many limes did you go through before you got a shot you liked? I'll bet somebody had some mighty sticky hands when all was said and done! Very nice shot -9
Very nice photo! I can imagine this being very hard to capture! I like your choice of background colour, the orange and green go together very well, and it isn't as boring as if you'd have used black or green. Unfortunatly the photo quality is quite grainy, and that looks like a compression problem, but the actualy capture is excellent. 7 Konador
Excellent shot - you've really captured the mouth-puckering tartness of this juicy lime! Great choice of background color, too. I wonder how many shots you took / limes you cut and squeezed before you got this one?
Absolutely brilliant concept (10+). I like action shots a lot!! Technically, however, it seems to ahve been sharpened quite a bit, so I am guessing the original had soft focus. Overall 7.
Composition: Subject Placement, Cropping, Background8, Technical: Focus, Exposure, Lighting, Processing9, Appeal: Is it Interesting, Motivating, Etc.? 6, Total Averaged Rating8. Autool The 6 is because I think you have a great advertisementshot but I wouldn't want to hang it in my living room. Maybe it is short term interest for me.
Great shot! I love the orange background. Great use of shutter speed. Good composition too. I'm not sure if it is intentional, but it seems to be grainy and at the same time over sharpened/contrasted - also can't decide if I like that or not--something about the way the fingers look...ant the overly green edge of the lime. But I still like this much. Great work and idea. 9 Ruthann
Superior work...this style looks oddly familiar..like somebody I always give high marks too :-) Anyway..well executed..nice choice of background. Almost perfect. I treated this as an ad/poster shot and as such I would have wanted the skin of the hand to be a bit less dry looking..I know..I know..we aren't models and it just missed getting you a 10. I see lots (meaning 100's) of shots like this in stock photo samples in my advertising work so I am a bit jaded and most of them use wonderful manicured female hands to push the sex appeal..still great shot 9..hokie
Cracking good shot. I can't suggest improvement. The shot has great artistic merit, exposure and composition is spot on and the stop motion is faultless. Great idea, well executed. Good luck (10)
I am SO jealous!! I tried and tried to get this same shot, and it never worked out. This is great! Not crazy about the orange background though. lhall-7
I really like this shot. the orange background is super and contrasts nicely with the lime green. also, you did well with the skin tones, something i still have not mastered. Great work. karmat
And now it's all over my keyboard !!! Great shot. Why did you choose orange as for BG ? The detail on the fingers is slightly distracting. So imagine the same shot with a black background and white silk gloves. But the idea is there so 7.
