Greetings from your own critique club. Sorry, I was off the hook for a while.

First Impression
Like the idea, don't like the execution.
Composition:
Composition is alright.
Subject:
Fits the challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
Don't think the border really goes with the picture. The lights on the lemon is blown out. When I look at the picture, my eyes first goes on the bright yellow border and then goes to the blown out area on the lemon.
Improvement:
Border and blown out as mentioned above.
Summary:
Not one of your great shot technically.

Cheers!! Keep shooting.

Hi there from Rebecca of CTP2.

First impression is honestly: WTH? What does this have to do with ninjas? The top of the lemon is way blown out, as well as the upper edge of the lenscap, and the DOF is not working for the lenscap since parts of it are out of focus, and the parts that are in focus aren't sharp enough.

First impression: To much light on the (is it a) "lemon" !!!
Good focus on the bottom of the Lenscap but IMO a bit narrow focus making the top of the lenscap OOF.
The frame is nice, works well with the (is it a) lemon.
What can be better?
Dim the lights on the (is it a) lemon.
Fix the DOF.

hey there from ctp2:

I had to look at this for a few seconds to figure out what it was. The lighting and focus on the lenscap is good, but it's a bit bright on the lemon (if that's what it is), which makes it sort of hard to "see". I like the idea, though. Very clever. And the colors work well together.

Hello from Ãlex, CTP MkII

First Impression: Intelligent idea, very original for the challenge.
Composition: A bit strange, too centered and cropped too tight.
Subject: Good idea for the challenge.
Technical: Focus and use of the DOF is very good. Light on the lemon is too harsh, almost hurts the eyes.
Improvement: Take off the center the logo of Canon, not so strong light on the lemmon.
Summary: Good idea. Keep shooting.

Greetings from CTP2

Dude that so looks like a lemon!

Technicals:
Well the foreground was exposed well but that background has a lot to be desired but you know that already.

Subject/composition:
To sell the idea that this lens cap is indeed a ninja it would have been better if you had some of the lemon/pear remains on the lenscap. Might have made this more gory but hey it's a ninja and it just sliced through that whole thing. :P Btw, I like how you composed this. Lots of balance and in your face action.

Suggestions for Improvement:
Try and not make it a last minute thing?

Nice and crisp... I like the border too :)

Border is a bit much, but it's a novel idea.

Overexposed -- Badly blown highlights.

I like the idea, I guess thats a lemon in the background been sliced through. Try a higher apature and adjust lighting.

The cut-in-half lemon is barely intelligible; a greater depth-of-field would likely have benefitted this picture greatly.

Good focus on the lenscap. I find the lemon distracting.

Funny. Nice shot. Could be sharper.

Good sample of creative instinct. You had a great idea. I like the picture, prefer it with a softer light. But is great as is.

Very good close up, but would have like the "Canon" logo lense cap, not to be ever so slightly, not level horizontally.....
