    Fruit Basket

    I don't much like shopping at the 10 acre mega supermarket, so for our produce I drive about a mile down the road to the "Fruit Basket". This fruit was on tables near the front of the market under a canopy in the shade. It was taken with a Fuji S5000 on Auto mode.
    The blood oranges on the right were very tasty. I like this photo, but I wonder if it looks too commercial. Comments? Be brutal, I want to get better at this. Thanks.

    You've certainly got some great, bold color in the frame. Looks like a lot of the oranges are without detail, possibly from the overhead lighting. It's an OK shot that might have been improved had you knelt down and shot this at a lower angle, to get a little creativity in the frame. Keep posting.

    This is what the un-cropped image looked like. I think when I reduce the size to post, they loose some of their quality. Maybe?

    your uncropped one

    has an intereseting thing going on there to the middle left---there's an ornage that's cut or eaten and with the mix of the mangoes and the shock of blue might be looking into. definitely go back and shoot some more, nice colors
