Subject and Technical information:	After Xmas I received from Sardinia some fruits without chemical traitment, good for liqueurs (oranges, lemons, mandarins and myrtle). For fun I also create some label for the bottles, but since I didn't have a photo of mandarins I did this. The flash was directed on the ceiling. BTW, the liqueur from these mandarins is very good!

Nicely done Ralf. I like the juxtaposition of colours.

This image certainly meets the simplicity criterion! And technically it is fine - focus, DOF, lighting. But something about it bothers me, and I have difficulty in figuring out what it is. In the end I think it is the repeated orange colour theme is too overpowering. It would be interesting to see the same shot with a different colour on the table-top. I'm not sure what colour, since the green of the bowl is very strong and a particular hue that would not be easy to complement. A very thought-provoking shot.
