Red Pamello is a grapefruit with a green outer rind, a very thick pith, and red fruit inside. I have yet to taste this very interesting fruit to see if its as bitter as the others in its family. The 'grapes' next to the grapefruit was by accident but I find it ironic.
I almost disqualified this image because of the hot spot in the upper left corner. But I have noticed a trend in cookbook images having a hot highlight area, so I thought I would give it a whirl. I like how it turned out.

I'm not a fan of how the blown hightlight in the top left blends 100% (on my monitor) into the border of the this shot - becasue of this the whole foreground of the shot seems to be under-expoused.

Compositionly sound, but I would like to have seen more punch in the colours - especially in the grapefruit. One last nit-pick, IMHO the border does nothing for this shot, the top and bottom approach should have been swap for a full wrap around at about half the width.

Sorry to be so mean (4)
