I don't think it's boring at all. Good eye! The fuzzy border brings it all together. Great focus and lighting. Simple but stunning.

Very nice! I love the light and the intensity of the colors. The texture on the oranges is lovely! Great shot!

My reviews are set to Blind so I do not see the names of those who are being reviewed.
Thus am not influenced by knowing who the artist may be, while reviewing their work.

Like the tonal range and lighting. Just a touch more sharpening would bring out the detail in the skins.

Digital captures lose sharpening in transfers from camera to computer. So Pros do Pre processing sharpening.

Then sharpness is also lost in processing, adjustment for brightness, contrast, conversion to JPGs, and sizing. So they also do Post Processing sharpening.

Ratings Used in this review, to determine the rating: 6=Exceptional 5.5=Professional
5=Expert
4.5=Above Average

Lovely lighting in this box of oranges. Makes me want to reach out and take one. I do feel however that the vignette is a little too heavy. Otherwise a lovely image.

This is a good shot because of how the sun shining down on the oranges gives off different tones of orange. I also like how the oranges sort of have a directional pattern. I like it too, and good choice of using a vignette. :)

Comment from hondodude


this is not all boring.
the spot of sunlight highlighting the oranges draws you into the photo.

When you see this type of setting again check to see that all the stickers are turned to the back so all you see are the fruit.
Overall this is very a pleasing still life

To review this I have looked for:
Initial Impact.
Texture.
Lighting.
Technique.
Framing.
Light & Shading.
Story Telling.
Colours.
Difficulty of shot.
In my estimation, I believe this to be a 4.5 star rating.I find it a bit boring, If it had a woven basket with them in. That would be different.

Well, to me, oranges say "sunshine", so I like the way the light is hitting these oranges. I like the vignette effect as well. Good details, overall a very nice photo that I could see framed in a kitchen. Thanks for sharing
