Hi Sally,

Greetings from the Critique club...

Congrats on the new camera -- more great shots to come I'm sure. Nice result from your first entry with it.

What stands out for me in your shot is your use of light. The light and highlights on the cherries and apple are wonderful (over shadowing the banana which is the theme) and the red color dominates the shot. This unfortuneately move the banana to, well, second banana (an expression in the states as the understudy but not the star)

You've filled the frame with a pleasing composition so the overall effect is a lively still life/macro combo that works. My suggestion for improvement: don't have any solid ideas, perhaps a spritz of water, and a crisper apple. This are minor as I, as well as many voters, liked this shot as presented.

If you have any questions, pm me, please!

Regards,
Theresa
