It made me laugh, I can see the disappointment of the lone squash and the gloating of the victorious suitor! Very nice composition and simple yet effective expression
I like it! Great colors and forms as well as very good dof. I'd brighten it slightly but it's really fine as it is. Good luck in the callenge. Gracious aka Grayce
Composition - Very good. Great choice of squach. Technical Aspects - quite good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality – very good Other suggestions – I'd like to see a version with more color saturation. Might make it jump off the page more. 8 Jim msp
Beautiful colors! Nice juxtaposition of the gourds. Good DOF...love the lone envious gourd (poor baby). Small distraction from the warble in the paper on right but does not affect score. (8) ~mcmurma
I like the organization of this photo. The concept is really carried out well, from the title, down to the shape of the gourds. Very creative. I like the way you chose to focus; though I imagine some might make a case that the focus should be on the jealous gourd in the background. That would be interesting to see as well. Just a different idea -- nothing wrong with what you have here. Only brainstorming.
I like this photo, but ultimately it is interest/appeal that keeps it from scoring higher with me. Sounds silly - perhaps I have a squash prejudice. LOL.
PS> If you're interested in nitpicks, the blemish just inside the neck of the large hugging gourd distracts me just a bit. 7, just-married
This is a very good photo. I like the fact the back *thing* is not in focus and the front is, and SOMEHOW you've managed to give the back fruit a sense of being upset. I like the nice vibrant colours against the white background aswell, but I think it would look a bit more vibrant if you darkened the brightness, and addeed a little bit of contrast, it wouls make the orange stand out more. 8 -- Konador
excellent photo... Your message here is clear and concise :) Great job with the lighting and composition as well... the background on the right side seems to be a little uneven, but the overall image and idea here is quite impressive... good work :) = 9 - jmsetzler
This is one of my favorite shots for this challenge. It's clever, colorful and it doesn't have any harsh reflection lighting at all. I love the negative space used here and I love the affection display of the composition. The DOF is perfect, leaving the outsider in the background. My only suggestion would be to correct the wrinkle in the upper right of the background. A wonderful piece of art. 9 Gotcha, good luck
I would hang this on my wall! I think your title really helps complete the photo. But.. as I look at it.. keeping the title out of view.. The soft focus/blur (whatever the technical term is) on the gourd (?) in the background helps to explain the photo too. When I first saw this, I thought.. #1!! Love it. Good job! 10 Jenguin
this one jumped out at me as i was going thru the thumbnails! i love it. the DOF is perfect with the lonely gourd in the background, and the creativity of this photo is fabulous. very nice job! 9--amitchell
Nice shot. I like the mood this invokes with the title. Possibly you could have done moore with the lighting to give the front gourds a little more depth. Looks like the lighting is pretty much from the top, and maybe it should be lower and to the left? Looks like your background paper is a little wrinkled in back right too. It doesn't really detract, but ya gotta watch that pesky paper.
