This certainly meets the challenge for good texture definition. It would be interesting to see another shape or color introduced to help the composition. (Say a tiny slice carved out to show the yellow meat) But it's nice as is. Good lighting.
Solid shot - nice maro that gets the rough/smooth texture. To make this image a bit better I'd like more even lighting (the light/dark areas do add interest but the far right is too dark and the rest could be brighter)
when you get as close as this i feel it has to either be an interesting texture or something to break it up - as it is your eye has nowhere to go so no lasting appeal.
This is very nice idea and nicely done. I would have preferred to have good lights on the right side too or just crop it out (1/3 right side) then flip it around and see what looks better. Good Luck!
Very white highlights - give a plastic feel. Perhaps a softer light would reduce that. Some detail missing, just lacking that edge of sharpness. Kind of 'ugly' to do well here, but nice idea.
