This is very pretty. I like the colours of fruit you used. The angle is slightly off centre in the frame.

Something about the light doesnt feel right. Sort of a dull light.

I do like it very much artist friend.

    Thank you, artist friend Linda. I tied as winner in this contest. I didn't vote for myself, but another artist, therefore, tied. Just gathered some fruit together and entered. Glad you liked it anyway.

    You are just so kind. Don't think there was a large number to enter.

You have produced a captivating, very appetizing, and most importantly- a healthy oriented photograph. I relish all these fruits that you have depicted, and regularly include them as part of my meals. I can easily visualize myself reaching out and taking a handful of grapes and reveling in the juiciness as I eat them.
Thanks for your delicious photography posting.

    You are most welcome, artist VMarguarite. I just gathered several pieces hoping to choose from later and perhaps use in a stilllife painting.

This looks really tasty with the freshness of the colorful fruit, and they are so nicely arranged in a crystal bowl. I do however think this still life would have been even better without the fruit on front of the bowl. If you had placed them together with the piece of banana close to the bowl, it would have worked as well.

I especially like the all neutral background, and how lovely the light is falling on the fruit, and also the crisp and clear colors.

The photo is also sharp showing truly clear and well defined details in all the fruit, and the exposure is perfect.

I think the format and framing is fine, but a landscape format would probably have been even better. Still I think this is a lovely and well taken photo Glena, and I wish you luck with the contest.

    Thank you, artist friend avmurray. I originally just gathered these together to choose some of them from painting although I have a better still-life painting in oil. But I do agree with you and if I ever do this one, I'd not have the banana standing with stem up. Thanks again.

Oh I do like this arrangement it worked out very well. The focus us good and the colour combination I really live the bloom on the grapes and their shades a good entry. Good luck. .

    Thank you, dear friend. I'd photographed sometime back when my better camera was working. But I just arranged and captured so I'd have to draw/paint sometimes. You are so encouraging.

    Thank you, artist friend, Regina. I gathered these together some time back and photographed when my better camera was working and I wished to use to paint later. Thanks so much for your encouragement.

A good looking image posted here into the competition. Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of those lovely fruits. They look scrumptious! Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!
