This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: the lemon is placed nicely in the frame, fills it quite well, and the background is there, but just enough and not too much.

color: Very good choice of contrasting colors, unfortunately, the both try to over-power each other and are very oversaturated and bright.

contrast: could have been more contrast between the lemon and the background, perhaps by darkening the background.

focus: focus is a little off. The edges of the lemon are not sharp, nor is anything else in the photo.

depth of field:none

lighting: too bright

other: this shot has a lot of potential. A few points to fix though: the entire shot is too bright. Turning up the ISO or turning up the aperture would help cut some of the light. Secondly, there is some haloing/jagged edges on the little drops of water. This is due to oversharpening, or compression through the saving process. I hope this critique was helpful to you, if you have any other questions to ask, you are more than welcome to Pm me anytime.

At 1 second, every aspect of this lemon (?) should have been razor sharp. Maybe you're going for a sun rising in a blue sky motif? or a slow laid back lemonade type of day? Since I'm guessing, you can tell that I didn't get it.

Does it say 1 sec in a way? No. Apart from that I find the foreground stealing the view. Also appears that you used flash or some harsh lighting that reflects on the skin of the lemon.

Great colors. I thing a greater DOF would have made this even better.
