| Not a big fan of the focus and noise, but interesting image nonetheless. |

| This was a good concept, but definitely caled for a macro setting/lens. Unfortunately, the blur doesn't do anything to create interest/relevance for me. The framing is nice. 2, just-married |

| The soft focus on this is a great effect. It brings out those deep colours and the radial shapes of the kiwi fruit beautifully. |

| This reminds me of a tie-dye shirt. The colors are really cool and the shape is interesting. It even appears to have texture which you don't usually see on slices of fruit. I assume that the soft focus was intentional, and it creates an abstract quality that turns this into a very artistic shot. ~indigo997 |

| I'm not sure whether the soft focus was intentional or not, but it just doesn't appeal to me. The same photo in sharp focus would have gotten a much higher score from me. |

| Really out of focus. Would be a nice abstract if even a bit more clear. |

| An abstracty fruit :) I'm guessing you're getting hammered for this..I would have chosen a more interesting angle but otherwise it's well done. As a side note...I think it's a major misconception that "abstract" has to be out of focus...It doesn't. A perfectly focused shot without a "Kiwi" in the title would have been just as abstract since it's not easily identifiable but can be figured out/guessed. |

| I am not sure how to rate this, I am sure the focus was on purpose, and it lend a nice abstract quality to the image. But I am not sure just how much I like the result, definitely about average - Zeiss |

| I think that for a shot like this the subject has to be in focus. |

| The fuzziness of this gives it a nice abstract quality, but for me, personally, I think a sharper focus would ahve been more effective. karmat |

Not sure if the blurry focus is deliberate but it's too soft for me.
I do like the composition though and were it in focus this would score much more highly with me.

| This is such a great/artsy/shot. the lighting and color are nice, but the blur is a little more than necessary. I like a soft focus at times, I would like to see this shot at about half the blur. Good Luck - Gotcha |

I feel that a macro must be focused and very clear otherwise it has no effect. Why did you take a close up, if it wasn't to get better detail? |

| This hurts my eyes! I guess the idea was 'abstract', but this isn't really doing it for me, sorry. |

| I think you left this purposely out of focus... I really hope you left this purposely out of focus... I think with every picture, even if you are doing some sort of abstract like you are doing here you, there should always be some part that is actually in focus. |

| I did a kiwi too. It's a beautiful fruit. Although I am not keen on the lack of focus. I'll prolly feel like a turd for not knowing why you took it like that. |

Great colors...I'd love to see it better focused. The black and green and white look so nice together.
Good luck in the challenge! Grayce...aka...Gracious |

| the blur is distracting to me. Just a personal preference, though. I'm sure there are others who will like it. |

| Cool idea, but were you attempting some sort of soft focus effect? Why? This screams for sharp focus. Cropping seems a little close too. Did you cut out the center of the fruit? If so, why? 5 Swash |

| nice idea of a close up of a kiwi, but too much out of focus. the eye need something in focus to be able to, well, focus on. -- gr8photos. |

| This would have been a nice shot if it was in focus. |

| I'm not sure if i understand this photo or not... Were you going for a macro or some abstract view of a kiwi fruit, or both? I think the lack of focus doesn't work well for me in this shot. I am not sure how to critique this without understanding the intention... - jmsetzler |
