Took this photo for contest no.26 which you can find here (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=79774) , but not sure it's good enough. What do you think.

It's terrible! Look how soft and fuzzy the peaches are. You need to return that lens and get an L.

Yes, get it? Because the the peaches look fuzzy, it must have taken with a good lens to get ot to look soft...oh nevermind. Thank God it's the weekend soon!
It looks great. But now won't we know who submitted the photo, and be biased?

Ha ha, I think this photo sucks, that's why I posted here. I'm trying to make publicity for the new section "Competitions". Cheap ad, isn't it :p

PEaches are best eaten when your very very hot...

Becuase no matter what the temprature and humidity.. those fuzzy peaces are going to send chills down you spine!

I think it's a great shot Aaam!

On a more serious note, I like the picture although I find the mix of peaches and cherries a little busy for my taste. Why not try it with just one type of fruit and see how that works out?

Also, have you thought about playing around with the lighting? Some soft, warm lighting might work really well with the peaches. Just a thought.

Thank you guys for the comments, didn't expect people to like it.

Sam, I'll try your suggestion(s) later on. Btw Sam, that's not the subject I went out of my way to get & photograph. That "subject" turned out to be horrible, though I'll try again with different settings.

Thanks everybody for the comments.
