I like the way you put the subject, the sharpness and the colors - excellent work

Mmm, delicious texture and color.
I also like the composition against the black background -- it really makes the subject pop!

@Kevin at OrganicPIX.com: thanks, Kevin! i think you're right about the background, though i hadn't really thought of it that way. i guess black is just a default background so i don't end up with my wall or monitor in the shot. one day i'll get more creative with my backgrounds.

jmb from fairfax, va, United States

nice composition. good work on the dark isolation was well.

@jmb: thank you! i haven't heard the term 'dark isolation' before -- if it has to do with the background, i shot it with the tangerine on my black coat, so the background was black to begin with.

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

I like the way you have lit this, and its almost abstract shape is interesting too, good shot.

@Richard_Irwin: thanks a lot!

Yasuri from Gerona, Spain

sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States

Very cool shot. When your site first opened I thought it was going to be something gross like a heart or some other body part...lol at me. I was really relieved to see a scrumptous tangerine.

@sherri: thanks. that sounds like a pretty disgusting image.

Olivier et Sylviane from Montreal, Canada

le choix du fond noir est très judicieux, cette mandarine apparait d'une manière presque surnaturelle...bon travail!

FANTASTIC

Something is shocking about this orange! Nice shot.

Andy B from Nr Manchester, United Kingdom

Wow I love this picture. It reminds me of some anatomy photos of embryos..... I wouldn't say yummy but defiantly grabs your attention. Easily worth a macro day vote and your site a place in my bookmarks.

@Andy B: Wow, thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it that much! Interesting that so many people thought it was like an anatomy photo. Thanks again for visiting!

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States

I saw the same thing sherri did --as the image unrolled down my screen my first thought was of some kind of internal organs. I think the texture is a contributing factor.

18 Feb 2008 6:27pm

@Twelvebit: Hmm, interesting. Well, I guess technically it is the internal organs of the tangerine.
