very busy composition, and the background walls changing from brick to wood doesn't really add a lot for me

The lighting on this one is a bit off. It's kind of dark on the left. The subject matter is appropriate. Focus is good.

Good choice of subject for color's sake. Single-flash setup makes the backfield underexposed and the foreground slightly overexposed. With better lighting, this would be much better overall.

Wonderful colors here. Can't see why you didn't take the labels off...they do distract the eye. That arrangement of fruit in the background is so pretty! Good luck in the challenge! Grayce...aka...Gracious

Good DOF but a little busy..too many items..no need for the flowers.

Too busy. I'm not sure what the point is here...

This is a nice shot, but I feel it's too busy and lacks a central subject. Lighting is great, and the DOF works, so the shot itself is fine it that respect. In my opinion, perhaps and unusual angle or tilt of the camera would given some improvement. Sorry to be so negativeâ€Â¦ Good luckâ€Â¦

Living in Japan I can relate, A lot of people might not.

Is the title a reference to a cultural/religeous thing? The flowers in the background are dark and out of focus, the peach? in the foreground is also out of focus. The rest is fine. 7 Swash

Hmmm... I am culturally deprived. I see chopsticks, some incense, some fruit, some flowers, and some beverages. Based on the title, I may assume that we will be performing a sacrifice of live fruit? :)) - jmsetzler

i'm not sure i'm getting your title. as for the photo, yes, there's plenty of fruit in it, but overall, it is very cluttered with different items, colors, textures. there are too many things vying for my attention, and i'm not sure the fruit is winning the contest. -- gr8photos.

Lots of colours which is great, but lots of stuff which distracts a bit from the fruits. What are you drinking ? See, got distracted :-)
09/09/2002 12:15:00 PM
the background is too dark for my opinion
09/09/2002 12:12:00 PM
The picture is a little too busy with not enought emphasis on the fruit. I do like the variety of colors shown, though.

way too many items in the photo. I do not know what to look at, the fruits or the dishes
