Orange slices arranged one on top of the other on a transparent piece of glass. The glass was held over a lamp and the shot was taken from above so the light was going through the orange slices.

Wow what a bright image! I think this is a prefect fit for the challenge and nice to see something different from the bunch. Excellent idea using oranges, other fruit would not have been nearly as bright or colorful. I think the composition of this shot is the best part. The only thing I would have played with a little is the placement of the oranges, not quite so centered for the two, maybe off more the the left or right. I am really glad you left the seeds in they add another element to the photo. The glow from the bottom orange is a nice complement to the the seeds and outside of the orange that are darker in the shot.

The composition of this is delightful. Love the circles, triangles, shadings! It appeals to all the senses.

beautiful use of light. I like the soft focus here - it makes it all the more glowy. mmm... glowy.

Overall, a nice photo. The focus s good and the composition is pleasing. I think that you could have gotten away with a slightly brighter lighting setup ... I think it might have really brought out the veining in the fruit and made the colours just a bit brighter. JMO.

My very first challenge entry was a grapefruit lit with a penlight. You seem to have discovered what I did at the time. It's difficult to get a sharp image when you light through the fruit because there is thickness to the fruit. This is a nice attempt, but it falls short of the previous entries which did the same thing. 6

Nature's gold is actually a metallic stuff that people regard as valuable ;-)
