Greetings from the Critique Club.
First impressions are that processing is what this shot is about, rather than the shot itself.
Technically the processing is poor. Some may like the cartoon style photomatix can produce and in some cases it works but for a still life with fruit, I don't think so. If it weren't for this processing you would have a much higher score as the composition is good and the lighting seems fine.
Artistically placement of the fruit is good and the candles are a really nice addition. The background could be blurred some more to enhance the separation. The border is too much I feel, it's always best to go for less when adding borders for DPC shots.
In summary this could have been a great shot but the use of your processing technique cost you a full point. Even so, a new PB can't be bad can it? ;)
Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.
Gerry

Congrats on your new personal best! It is well composed and a really nice touch with the pineapple! I don't think anyone thought to include one. Unfortunately, it's split on which people like this style of processing and which don't. I'm having the same problem. I so want to use the processing but, I know it will bring my score down if I do. :( Congrats again on your new PB! I'm sure that you'll be hitting more and more of them from here on out! :)
ETA: BTW....to get a comment like that from Posthumous, you know that you're doing something right! :)

| Woah! Radiated fruit! Different for sure. Seems a bit over the top for me with the post-processing (Topaz perhaps?). Good luck in the challenge. |
