Slice of grapefruit stuck in a glass illuminated from above by a lamp. Rotation and crop are all that were done to the image.

At first, I notice 2 things that I think shouldn't be there. First, is the light area of background in the upper left corner. And second is the small patch of something peeking out from the bottom of the photo near the bottom right corner. These create a bit of a distraction once they are noticed.
I like the color of the grapefruit, and the lighting is good. The lighting is what makes this photo stand out from a lot of shots. Creates a spooky feel on such a common subject, that it does tend to draw attention.
Focus and clarity are ok. I wonder though if it would be possible to get a bit more detail on the grapefruit? I love the texture of the little bubbles in the middle, and would love to be able to see that.
the angle is good. You can tell it looks like it was flipped, but I like that aspect. A view you normally don't see.
Overall an ok shot.

Freaky lighting - I like it a lot!
I would like just a wee bit more black space at the bottom - not much, just a touch.

This idea is great, but seem that orange was kinda out of shape, should get a nicer shape of orange

Cool shot. You can just barely make out the tumbler giving the orange an eerie glow.
