I love the brilliant colors throughout your picture. The details in the leaves are superb. Thank you for making this available to FanStory. It was perfect for my poem.

Beautiful work Shawn!

The fruit is especially realistic, and the one on the left looks ready to eat :)

I used to have a 20 foot tall apricot tree that yielded 100's of apricots every year...

    Thank you so very much, David! Our neighbor has an apricot tree, and he gave us a bag of them the other day. We're still eating them...lol. Again, thank you! :) Shawn

Stunning piece.

The colours are really great.

Good balance and co-ordination ofthe colours, for instance the background works really well with the tones of the leaves and the fruits.

Nicely.

Another great example of digital artwork here.
Nice composition and lovely vibrant colours throughout.
The blue background works well with the varying yellows of the apricots and the greens of the leaves.
I like the way the different tones of the apricots gives a feeling of different states of ripeness.
Excellent work once again and thanks for the share.

Another beautiful composition. I love the yellow/gold colors of the fruit. Leaves are well defined also and the whole composition really makes good impact for the viewer. Wonderful work.

Wow, I have to fill this space up with something. But honestly I can only come up with wow. The colors and shapes are really sharp. I love the background treatment. This is a lovely composition. Great job!

Great colour choice. Nice composition. I particularily like the leaves they really make this piece stand out. They creat an interesting impact. There is one not about the lighting in this. The background is back lit and I would think there would be more highlight on the back fo the fruit. teh one shadow cast by the leaf seems a little out of place. Really though this is very pretty.

The colors in your composition are so brilliant. They have such a 3D affect. Your presentation is dynamic with such an eye catching interest. Great center of interest. The clarity is perfect and you can almost taste the fresh fruit. Excellent use of lighting throughout the art work. Technical Excellence once again. Thanks for sharing. Linda
