The colors outside have a sort of pop art look, but not unattractive.
The fruit and the glass bowl are perfectly rendered.
Overall I like the image. Nice arrangement of fruit, too!

The fruit might stand out more if the background was more out of focus.Thus a larger aperture if you can do it.The house roof is esp distracting

Very interesting shot, Patty. It looks like you got that lovely bowl of fruit and stuck it on some astroturf with an Ortonized photo of a park behind it. I think it would be vastly more effective if you could get the very same lovely lighting on the the bowl with a much plainer background. Right now, the dolor of the fruit competes too much with the color of the background. I love how the light hits the facets of the crystal. That part is really great!

All best wishes,

Endre

Hi Patty,

I like the idea for the shot and the bowl of fruit a lot, but to me it looks like the bowl of fruit is just floating in the air. I agree with the others that trying to pick a simpler background for the shot would help a lot. Good luck this week.

Hi Steve......thanks for the comment! It looks like everyone agrees that my background is a bit busy.....
Hopefully, I can improve upon it before time is up

Patty,

I like the green background - and agree that repositioning the bowl might help. Overall I like it! Good luck!
