Its a lemon...with lots of pins in!

Kiwiness is so going to hammer me with this challenge, but I gave it a good shot! Thanks so much to TAZZA for lending me his 350D for the weekend whilst mine was in for repair - you're a legend!

great idea ... perhaps it might have been better to use a little less harsh lighting to get the yellow of the lemon to stand out better

Oh, that poor lemon, needing all that acupuncture, it must have been in so much pain! ;)

Very unique idea for the lemon, different, out of the box for sure. Points for that! The cropping leaves me just a little off though on the right, would have liked to seen just a little blue space there with the needles leading me out, just like they lead me in on the left. DOF is very well done, colors are sharp and clear. Tiny hot spot on the lemon but barely noticable. An 8

Not a prickly pear but a sour lemon whose taste appeal really pierces those taste buds. This is a very interesting composition that has potential. First off a richer deep blue (like a royal blue) would be a better background for it would it would compliment the yellow hue of the lemon not to mention make it pop visually. The blue here on the ground plane is a rather flat blue that lacks vibrancy. The lighting here is a bit harsh for you can see where it has "blasted out" some of the details on the top left half of the lemon - you can see more details in the skin (the pores) of the lemon that faces away from that harsh lighting. Showing the full lemon spiked with needles would also help with the composition - here you chop out some of the details on the far right hand side of the lemon. If you show us your full subject it makes the viewer appreciate it more. Lastly, the sharpness of this subject needs improvement. The needles and the lemon in the foreground should look as sharp as they are in the foreground. A smaller aperature setting (16 would be the best as long as you have the camera on a tripod to keep it steady while the shutter stays open for an extended time) would help with the depth of field and make things in the foreground and background appear sharp as a tack - or rather a needle as in the case here:-)

A little more DOF on this one would make a great shot.
