Thanks everyone for all the wonderful words! On a personal level I am quite pleased with this image. It may not have received a ribbon--but I got enough positive feedback through your comments to still make me feel like a two time winner ' - )
Very nice photo, I can see it doing very well this week. It had great texture and colouring is perfect. It is a good composition, with the fruit taking up all but one corner of the photo, and the way you have laid out the fruit is very well done. I've voted this a 7. - Konador
Niely done. I like the blending of colors between the pear and the gourd. The only thing I would change is the black area in the upper left corner. It seems a little distracting to me.
The wonderful rich colours of the pears are reflected beautifully in the colour of the gourd. Good clarity and focus make this a very pleasing composition--well done andrewm
This is just beautiful and the colour and light and textures remind of me of an old painting. I just love the textures of the pear and gourd. I can't decide about the black area to top left, it feels a little unbalanced yet when I cover it with my hand the photo does lose something. That black seems to tie in with the shadows between the objects. Anyway, it's just lovely. Well done! 9, Kavey The more I look the more I love the golden colours and the textures. This really is a 10. Changing the score to 10 now.
The color tone here is gorgeous. This bronze is evocative of Old World richness (think exquisite still life paintings, a hint of parchment from Da Vinci), so this is not only a beautiful photograph, but something that takes me into another time. Nice framing, good repetition of curves and speckling, nice balance in the pears' stems -- the whole composure keeps the eye happily roving over the sumptuous shapes. I am hanging between 9 and 10 on this one. Only things that would keep it from being perfect, to me, are the few blemishes on the gourd.
A magnificient composition, tonal range shows the textures. Frame it! 10 I keep coming back to your photo. It's subtlety and soft curves are stunning. just wanted you to know. crisa58
Great lighting. Love the colors and dark bg. Good focus and composition. Excellent photo! (bumping this up to a 10 because it just gets better and better each time I view it) ~indigo997
