| I thought this was cute and gave it a 6 in voting. The colors are vibrant, the sharpness is spot on. I love the tilt to it. |

The technicals are pretty good in this picture. Great exposure, good contrast, and nice sharpness. I like the color palette being used, very bright and in your face. A good choice to go with the background.
I think this would have had more impact if it was straight on than titled. Don't know for sure, just a thought.
I think the biggest issue is that this is the typical staged studio shot. Nothing wrong with that in itself, but I think the art comes by making it look natural even though it is not. The elements here look artificially placed (which of course they are). While a cute setup, it is very unnatural. This is why I typically don't do "studio" type shots myself, it is very hard for me to make it look natural. A good attempt!
However, barring that one negative, it is still a well composed, has the great technicals, great color, and is fun/whimsy. This is the type of shot, that I personally would think about revisiting in a year and see if your "style" becomes more prevalent in the picture. |

I see faces. Blink Jeffrey, it won't blink at me. Very fun image.
See you soon. I'm looking forward to seeing the wonderful world of DC thru your eyes. |

How cute! Now why didn't this one score higher! It looks like a personification photo as well :)

Jeffrey, when voting I found this to be a solid entry, though maybe not inspired. I do think it has a humorous appeal, especially with the banana ears, but the overhead lighting is pretty harsh. Kudos for the diagonal composition, adds a creative touch.
edited for my lousy grammar :-)

| Nice color, sharp detail, nice clean background, and cute. I thought this would have scored better than it did. It's just so hard to figure out what the voters want. |

Composition just doesn't work too well for me and I think the color combos are quite the best choices either - just my opinion for what it's worth.

I like the colour and the composition of this, however I feel it is let down by the blown highlights on the top of the apples and satsumas.
As I can see some dark shadows at the edges of the friut, I suspect that this was shot on white paper, rather than a light-table, and some post processing was done to acheive the brillent white background. It looks a litte too cut & paste for my taste.

| It reminds me of Sesame Street. I stare at this and wait for the fruit to begin moving around and counting. |
