Guava mango exotica plus plus. This has been composed very nicely, however, it is a bit soft, but I will view it in high resolution before I cast my vote. A slice of life photo which takes us on a journey.

These kind of images are very enjoyable to view. You have shown a bit of another world to us. Composition is wonderful with mom and babe in the background, the fruit is evident in abundance . A slice of life photograph, love it.

These are wonderful to find, it makes the heart skip a beat as you pick them and they usually end up in my mouth. You have presented this berry in it's natural environment, the strawberry is nice and sharp with natural saturation. I personally would not have minded a wee bit of a tighter crop, still keeping all the extra, just a little less.

Ah this is classy a very nice still life. I would not have minded to see the entire light fixture in the frame but that is just me.

but left some for you. This is a clean capture, well in focus and composed to the side at eye level. I like it....so did the deer!

The colour palette is one of my personal favourites, purple and pink combined. A square format would really work on this piece as circular objects really jump out and the visual staying factor increases because of equidistant sides to the frame. It may be a bit soft but I will check hi resolution before voting.

Great close up of this fruit. I do think the focus is off a bit on the main berry however the little berry in the lower right (viewer's right) is smack on focus. I like how this engages us.

still26 says:

The photograph is good in that you bring the plant directly to us, a nice close up, albeit a bit of a nip at the top. Did you shoot this on A mode or M. You need to switch to manual to give you greater creative control. The dof could be sharper to include the entire "pear" and the exposure is hot in some areas. Overall the composition is really good and we cannot help but get engaged with your upload.

Awww this looks like a meditation, a meditative moment, not wasting time at all. The story element withing this image is powerful and as viewers we get caught up in it...perhaps he is dreaming a dream of owning one of these or perhaps he already has one and wants to sell it....the story component is deep. I like the way you have placed the main focal point sharp and used intelligent dof manipulation to soften the background. He is not centered which gives more strength to your shot. The colours are natural, your exposure is well done and I have nothing to add for improving this image. IT ROCKS.

The artistry of your eye is evident with the cup of tea in the background to give us a visual journey of delight. Nice composition. The technical elements are well done with good contrast shown, natural colour, sharp in focus. The background could be more level but that is strictly my own opinion and I bow to your artistic prerogative. Sweet upload (get it?)

Thanks to your post I shall never look at rocks the same way. To have put this into b/w gives it much more impact for the textural quality has been brought out really well. You have a broad gradient range that further gives a lot of depth. The composition follows horizontal cut rules of photography and further gives pizzazzz to this well rendered image.

Well well well, top marks for this shot that gave me a belly laugh. I remember hiking the Annapurna trail in the Himalayas and we passed a photographer who had to hire a sherpa guide to carry his lens...that is what this image reminds me of...you have resurrected a memory for me and it was Tolstoy that said if an emotion has been elicited then art has been created. Your photograph is sharp "as a woman's tongue"...set up in an environment that marries well with the title. Top marks for this photograph.

Oh gosh, I have two of these fish, with eyes so similar hanging in my bathroom that your upload gave me a great chuckle. In photography courses the teachers will often tell you that the eyes must be in sharp focus then all other sins can be forgiven, your one eye is sharp. The point of view of this image is also good for it engages the viewer instantly. A fun shot.
