 This was taken at a downtown park in Wichita, Kansas. I had just gotten off work and rushed to the store to buy some fruit, just in time to catch the right lighting. The sun was going down fast and I rushed to get just the right photo. There are four man made shallow fountains pouring into a big pond. I sat the bowl of fruit in the water and braced my camera on the ledge of the fountain. I look out and see that the sun is just in the right spot shining through a group of trees just beyond my shot. I couldn't have asked for a better shot. I took probably 50 that day but only one turned out. I lucked out on this one.

Seems to fill up the frame just a touch too much. Pulling back just a touch and bumping up the colors slightly might help. It's still a nice shot, though.

There were quite a few variations of fruit and moving water in the challenge. Yours is best.

Well done, although another angle omitting the trees and sunlight in the back would've yielded a higher score

Nice colourful fruit bowl, sat upon a stream. there is overexpopsed highlights in the background which distracts.

The flowing water enhances the still life. Just not sure about that huge tree in the background.

Wow, looks like a crazy painting around the fruit. Very cool.

I hope you got two of every fruit with the way the water is rising. Love the idea but the top of the water looks unreal next to the forest.
