Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Shareinnc...

This was a tough challenge. I think you did an acceptable job of relating the theme of "Pi" by doing your measure of the radius of the lemon slice...

The composition on this photo is also good... positioning the lemons on the left of the frame and using the ruler as a leading line works very well.

The exposure on this image is where the problem lies. It appears that it's simply overexposed. I don't know much about the camera you are using so i couldn't suggest exposure alterations unless it has fully manual control. What looks like over exposure could also be a difference in your monitor and mine. If your monitor is way out of calibration, you may have increased the brightness on this image to a level that is too high on a calibrated monitor.

Very washed out. I can hardly see the ruler.

Nice idea, but I think it might have been more effective if the background were black, or at least darker, and the picture overall a bit sharper.

The focus is a little soft, but the colors work very nicely in the photo, and it definitely conveys the idea of pi.

Imaginative but a little obscure.

I'm not crazy about the composition, and the background seems kind of an odd color, and is very drab. The ruler blends into the background and doesn't really seem to be part of the subject.

It is round and showing measuring pi. The focus appears more on the ruler area, that made the lemon blurry. The backround has some distracting qualities and maybe using a solid instead of clear ruler may have given more impact.

Your lemon shows up nicely, but your ruler is almost non-existent. what happened to it? and the focus seems out of whack, blurry?

This is a super idea with the ruler and the lemon slice. The title confuses me, though. I also feel that the lemon should be in focus and that the ruler should somehow stand out more to communicate your message here.

Seems a little overexposed.

It's a little blurry. The lighting of the ruler could be better also.
