 Plants don't "analyze" what they should do - they just do what's in their nature to do. To me, that's the simplicity of living.
This tangerine in my backyard is just about ripe enough to pick. I sprayed it and the surrounding foliage with a water pistol to get the "dew-drop" effect, then photographed if from several angles and under different lighting situations. This is the one I liked best.

I think the contrast of the orange would have had more impact if it hadn't been blocked by the leaves -- specifically on the right side; left side is high enough to appear off the 'stem'...as often seen on juice cartons =)

Nice focus on leaves, but the orange seems a little oversaturated and blurry

You should have focused on the orange. Also the light through the leaves are distracting. But I like the colours in this picture.

Nice.... gotta ask though... do you work for Minutemaid?

Sorry this does not do much for me. Composition and angle of view is very standard, orange bang in the middle, too much cluttered leaves around it. Drops on the leaves are sharp but on the orange not clearly visible. Would try to make it simpler, get closer, move orange out of center.
