When a game of football (soccer) is played in England, particularly the amature game, it is traditional at half time for a plate of sliced oranges to be passed around the team. This is supposed to refresh and revitalize a team.

what an interesting way of approaching this challenge - very unique, i like it. it could stand to be a little more focused, but a great pic nonetheless
Sorry, but the image does not convey a team sport. Remember, the challenge is for the image itself, not the image title. No matter how you spin it, the image does not convey anything resembling a team sport. Good shot otherwise, but off-topic.
How many hours have I spent cutting up oranges for half-time snacks????? Lots and lots - and oh, do I miss those times now. Thank you for the wonderful reminder!! What a great interpretation of the challenge - skillfully photographed. You get a 10 from me!
Without the title, I wouldn't think of team sports. A beautiful and well-focused shot. If this was a challenge about oranges, maybe I'd rate it much higher!
My son played soccer from age 5 to 18. This photo lit me up remembering the games and the oranges at half time for energy. Thanks! I worry that it will not score well because a lot of folks may not understand the relationship to youth soccer. Glad you took the risk, however. Good luck! (6)
If you are a parent with kids that play football (soccer) you have got to love this shot. Excellent take on the challenge. Oranges could be just a touch more in focus. -8
Awesome idea for this challenge. Very inventive. Very good use of composition. Maybe would have worked better if shot in different light - this lighting seems to be slightly harsh... but I'm not sure. Good luck.
This picture is okay however .If I were to follow this theme I would have placed the orange differently with some eaten and just skin aqnd perhaps not on a plate in the grass but with plate/containor on a players bench with the field as a backdrop with the net or goal posts or bleachers as backdrop.
Orange slices are often served up as halftime refreshments but this composition
just says fruit.
5 from me.
I think you had an excellent idea you just needed to expand on it some.
