A pair of limes taken with my macro lens..tried different positions and lighting...this was the best of about thirty images..used a white reflector on left and lighting above and slightly behind the limes. Cropped, levels, brightness/contrast, shadow/highlight, channel mixer to kick up the green a little and unsharp mask.

I just couldn't get a pleasing composition with these limes..maybe I moved in too close with that new macro lens...my images are bland and uninteresting lately..must be in a creative slump...but I'll keep trying to snap out of it.

Clarity is wonderful! Wish the limes had been sitting exactly the same.

Nice color and good focus.It would be funny if you arranged the limes to look like 2 breasts.LOL

I feel this needed some more space, or something else to improve the composition - perhaps the crop was too tight. Exceptionally good detail on the limes though.

a nicer color in the background would really strengthen this shot for me

Lighting is bad. Too harsh on top and too dark on the bottom. Otherwise a nice image.
