Sweet Pomegranate

Lovely still life. Very nice how the roundness of the pomegranate is echoed by the bowl. In the spirit of friendly criticism, here are two subjective comments. As MaryO wrote, the echoing of the pomegranate red in the greenery lends the image a comfortable balance. However, the two shiny, bright clusters on the left seem out of character with the subdued mood of the background. Also, the metal spoon feels extraneous, not adding much to the photo. To reiterate, subjective. Perhaps you felt that something was needed for bottom weight, I don't know.

This is one of my favorites. I love the crisp detail and contrast. The scene thereby becomes a momentary insight, unbidden, powerful.

Perfect evidence of that note. Enchanting lines, shapes and colors.

You can feel the grumbling in your stomach, a visceral moment. The cacophony of progress.

Very nice image, not allowing color to intrude, especially with a spoonbill. Delicate composition. The expanding water rings echo the formality of sound.
Personal favorite of the challenge.

A perfect contrast of calm disdain and apoplectic frustration. Been there. Also like the contrast between the two mats and/or rug. That is, a 'meadow' of small flowers and a welter of frenetic design. Is the dog actually slobbering?

The horizontal rhythms delicately build to the crescendo of the sun. Moving and powerful.
The haiku is nice, but the visual haiku would be difficult to transform into words.

Interesting melding of curve and straight line, they actually look comfortable together. And the outskirts, calm in its own nature. Fine composition, not quite balanced because of the slanted perspective, and more provocative for it. Nice title, modest and full. The colors are gorgeous, just wonderful. Who needs Faberge?
Personal favorite of the challenge. (10)
