Composition is good and focus is sharp. While this shot clearly meets the challenge and is technically well done, it doesn't have the "I'd hang it on a wall" factor for a 9 or 10.

Cool image, but I can see something holding them up.....7

Nice!

Great shot... a dark back ground would have provided a better contrast.

Color of the fruit seems a little muted to me. Overall I really like this composition and you did an excellent job of "capturing" this fruit!

Cute stars!! The all white background is a little much for me to handle, but I'm not sure what to suggest when doing yellow! Some kind of blue background maybe? I dont know. Good clear shot though, lots of detail on the fruit. Lighting looks good too.

I never knew there was such a thing as star fruit. This is first time I have ever seen one and you repersented it well.

I like this photo. The fruit stand out nicely. The white background overpowers this image for me, a Chinese red or oriental setting would make this outstanding to me. Some of the white flecks are distracting, even if they do belong there. 7

as i look at this photo i keep waiting for the fruit to start dancing like the rockettes from radio city music hall....i like it

Looks good enough to eat.:) Good luck.9

good idea and arrangment

The prop at the end of the line could well be cloned away. I would also like a lot more star fruit and a lot less white in the frame. 640 pixel width is not very much. It is a shame to only use half. A 5.

they need top hats and canes!

I like offset, but this is almost overloaded in the corner. Interesting idea. Five fives.

lovely colours.
(might stand out well on a black back ground)

great photo I love the composition and placement 9

I know you are going for a simplistic shot, but I feel like something is missing here. also it appears like there is something behind the last piece.

Yummy. I think I can see what's holding these guys up behind the last one. Since this is an advanced editing challenge I might have edited whatever that is out. Also, although I congratulate you on achieving such a perfect white background, it kind of bothers me in this shot - it's almost painful to look at the left side of the shot. I'm not sure how to fix that... maybe a slightly colored backdrop? Or maybe cropping more would have done it.
