 Taken on the kitchen table. Lighting was 2x500w halogen lights. One aimed at the subject, the other bounced from the ceiling. I just love the colours, I think it's quite gross!

Thanks everyone for your comments. I've been a bit obsessed with shallow depths of field, so I might take some of the criticism on board and start experimenting with getting more into focus.

I love Kiwi fruit, but this looks vaguly nauseating. Lots of good color, but I'm not sure I like the choice of DOF.

Too much of this is out of focus. You probobly couldn't help it with a macro like this, but having more in focus, and one psrticular subject that stands out would help.

Looks quite out of focus to me and therefore loses the texture.

I like it, this is great picture to hang at a juice bar place.

This looks slightly out of focus, and the border is over powering. I do like the lighting though.

I like the colour of the seeds against the lime green.. a larger DOF would have been better I think

The nature of the pulp of the fruit makes it difficult i think to see where this comes and goes in terms of focus, and that makes it difficult to see any detail of texture. There is a sense of mushy pulpiness to the image, but that alone is not enough to hold this viewer's eye for very long.

My mouth's watering right now. Nice macro shot, you can actually "feel" the texture.

This is a dificult texture subject. The juice reflects light and you can´t reveal the textures. My first try out to this challenge was a apple and a watermellon. Both very bad. I had results like yours. A blured reflected surface. Your subject shows a bit of grains the compose some form of texture, then I will count it.

The texture is here. The subject and composition lack interest to me.

Nice idea and composition, but a bit out of focus and i think the reflections distract from the image

I love the unusual choice of fruit but the DOF is way to limited to most effectively convey the texture. Think I'd have also included more of the hairy peel.

Nice texture -- looks edible! ;-)

Lovely colours and idea but IMHO to give more texture the DOF needs to have more in focus back to front.

Very Interesting!

lovely colours, a little bit jumbled for my liking though, would prefer a clear centre of attention.

the 10th pic i think where most of it is out of focus. i didn;t like the first one, and not the 10th either

I like the colors and bet this image would have done well if you could have gotten more of it in focus. (4)
