Comment by gloda:
Thank you for the many comments! I'm a bit surprised that they are all, in one way or the other, positive. I expected, at a score so close to 5.0, some more people critisizing me. Now I don't know what to change about it.
The blue tone some of you mentioned was wanted indeed. I like blue and it gives it a modern and cold look. Some people asked what I was suggesting. Actually, the image's message is whatever you see in it. I'm not saying whether authority is good or bad. It's just there and it's up to you to judge.
The only thing I'd change now is the blur on the hands. It was not wanted at all, but it was quite diffucult to hold my hands still after 50 shots :). And I'd have liked to clone out a small dot in the upper right I had forgotten to remove.
I'm glad to have gotten the attention of a SC, though. And thanks to kpriest for getting the point and suggesting me for disqualification ;]

Good title, good comp. Seven orange slices to spell out six. Clever. Border is a bit much, but not bad. Good texture on the fruit, nice choice of background. You did good pal. (8)

Focus seems generally soft in this shot. I like it.. nice colors. I like the orange on black. I'm not sure the border helps at all, but oh well. Definately a creative take on the challenge. interesting choice of subject and nice layout. ~Heather~

A brilliant capture with an excellent title to match. Good composition and use of light. A very imaginative and creative idea. Border works well too. My fave for this challenge. Good luck.

Comment by BrennanOB:
Great colors and concept but a bit tighter focus and highlights would have helped alot. great effort, just missed the mark.

Comment by Kathryn8:
Just plain funny all the way aroujnd...you have quite an imagination and the photography is really good. In my opinion the border is way too large and detracts from the composition. I think this one will do very well just on creativity alone....is it my imagination or does it need to be sharpened a bit?
