 the thing i learned most when shooting this is that kiwi slices dont like to stand up on their own, even with the bottom cut level.

the shot was pretty straight forward kiwi slices positioned infront of a lamp,

I've tried a kiwi shot and really struggled with one slice. This shot is great, and you had to work w/ 3 slices!

Greetings from the Critique Club! :)

This is a visually interesting image, full of color and detail. I think that the only thing that strikes me in a negative way upon first glance is the size...for a challenge anyway. I'm thinking that your score would have been even better if we were able to display it at a larger size. As it stands, it scored very well and you received a lot of comments that were similar in regard to the interest, detail, and color. The lighting is very nice and plays on the natural color of the fruit well.

Keep clicking and let me know if you have any questions about this critique! :)

Take care,
Laurie :)

This is a good example of backlighting.....

Nice backlighting. Pleasant green tones. Focus seem prety good overall. Now stop playing with your food and eat up that kiwi!

Neat take on something that has been done before. I think this is a unique approach. I like the composition and cropping. 9

This looks to have been overly post processed because the tones of the greens have broken down. Did you use a lot of contrast to give it some punch? I see it where the outer rings of flesh blend with the seed cells.

One square cropped kiwi surrounded by a black background might have been more stunning.
