Neat concept, Alice! Glad you dropped this in the red thread. =)

Delightfully clever. But in truth I am at first drawn by the deep dark colours, what looks like a spider, and the prehensile clasp of the tomatillo husk.

Very creative. I love the concept. The two things I would like to see better are more DOF to make the leaf in front sharp and a litle more light inside on the top so the stem is not black. Those are my only comments. Nice job.

Interesting concept. A little more light on the green might have helped

 04/29/2006 04:19:45 AM
too many glares and the green is not bright enough for my taste.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great textures and use of lighting in this image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/28/2006 05:45:46 PM
Very eye appealing shot. Love the idea and the darkness surrounding it. Like the hot spot on the top as well.

Great Idea! 9

5 - Don't mind the concept, not sure on the lighting and overall 'darkness'. Sharper / variation in perspective too, may have given this a little extra, in my opinion.

VERY good composition!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2006 12:38:51 AM
love the composition.. the colors seem a bit off though (over-saturated imo)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

good shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Striking photo but something isn't quite right -- is it lit from a red light from the right? Why not emphasize the complementary colors of the green leaf and red tomatillo? Blown highlights from light source on the top as well.
