Lemon Juice

Not a fan of the lighting. A "painting with light" approach would have worked well with the water drops and given the image another dimension to it

Red Drop

Comment:
A yellow drop might have been more appropriate. Manually setting the background for the white balancing would have taken away the general orangey hue leaving you with a lovely yellow patterns in the water. Having perfectly clean water for the shot to be submitted would have been better as it is tinted towards the bottom from previous attempts. The surface hoizontal is on a split level - again not ideal. A final sharpen after the resize would have been worth doing.

The background looks a touch red on my display and rather spoils the otherwise perfect shot. Might have been worth trying a landscape aspect ratio and using a large apature to get some DOF going on

Excellent patterns made by the light almost becomes the primary subject as it is so powerful and so the yellow colouring has taken a more subtle backseat. Well done

Can't help but feel it could be a touch sharper, did you apply a final sharpen after the resize? Lovely yellow tones set against the B&W and superbly composed

A lot of setup for a very bold image. Great focus on the lashes and texture on the skin

Slightly burnt out highlights but really well composed and contrasts well with the background

Image just seems slightly too soft which is a real shame. Great lighting though, could easily have been a flash disaster

I know how hard freeze framing can be from the recent challenge just before Christmas and so you have done very well with this and have added an extra dimension of difficulty compared to the other still life lemon entries. Well composed, great black background and sharpness on the lemon

Breaking th egg

A general yellow colour cast diminishes the impact of the yellow yolk. If the white balance had been set from the egg white then the yolk would have lovely contrast. Image is pretty small and is not using the full 640
