Very beautiful. A lot of photos this week have similar elements, eg. the backlighting, the drops of water, the sky background. But they mesh so well in this photo. One of my 10s - lisae
Great photo. You have captured very nice detail on the lemon, and the droplet of water looks great! I also think you picked a great day to shoot, as the sky is just perfect! I think to make it a better shot however, the lemon should be a brighter yellow, because at the moment it looks a bit dull. Maybe some different lighting would help this issue a bit? Besides that I think this is a great photo! 8 Konador
great, but could do with being under exposed a stop or so to bring out the lemon and sky colours - maybe a polarising lens would sharpen the sky up too ?
Just wanted to say that every time I look at this photo, I want to pucker. I assume that this is a lemon slice, but with the lighting, it's really tough to tell for sure...could be an orange slice. However, I like the refection you captured on the water drop. Good job!!
a nice effect, but i feel like the image is really soft and loses a lot of the color range. this may have benefited nicely from a polorizing filter to give that sky more punch. overall, though, a nicely timed and composed shot.
I love the cloudy sky and the mixture of blue and yellow. The water droplets are sensuous and add a reminder of what makes lemons so great. I'd like to see a brighter yellow, a slightly higher color saturation.
This is a superb effort. I really like the shot; it's an ingenious use of light, and yes, it really does looked kissed by the sun. I can't say anything constructive or helpful; composition is spot on, use of colour and light is outstanding, stop motion is marvellous, focus – oh, why am I going on… Easy (10)
This is one of my 10s for the week, but I don't really know what to even say about it. It's just a very well done, attractive shot. I like the lighting, colors, composition, and focus. The drip adds so much to the shot. ~indigo997
Looks kind of like an advertisement! Love the droplets against the sky. The lemon slice is too dark for me, I would have liked to have seen the bright yellow against the sky. lhall-7
Fantastic idea. Love the color. it seems as if the shot was done indoors against a window. I would have liked a more translucent appearance to the lemon and greater surface detail..still..very nice 8..hokie
I'm thirsty just from looking at this one... great execution! My only critique would be to tighten the crop by a few pixels on either side to get rid of the blue to the left and right of the lemon at the very top. -ClubJuggle
Very nice! I was going to do a lime with the light behind it and call it "Lime Light" - but couldn't get it to work (because of skills and old lime - lol) I like the sky, the drops are almost too perfect! Excellent texture. Get the feeling that you are actually holding it right here. Great work 10 Ruthann
This is an all around great picture. I was going to attempt to try a shot like this, but I soon found that it was very difficult. Yours came out great.
Wow, this is wonderful. The stars in the drops is a great touch! The texture of the lemon slice is great. The closest thing to a complaint that I can come up with is the lighting across the lemon isn't very even. Golly. 9 Swash
I like this one a lot. One of my favorites. I wonder how many times it took you to get the drop just right! Nice clarity, good definition of the inside of the lemon. Well done. 10/10
Oh wow. Nice shot. How fast was this shot? 1/1000, or faster? This is amazing. I certainly think this deserves to be in the top three, if not the winner. What's good: 1. the glow in the lemon 2. they clouds are JUST right, not too far past the lemon 3. the glow of the lemon. 3. the stop footage on that drop. Man how awesome is that! 4. did i mention the glow in the lemon :) - phlebotiss.
