Great idea and execution!

Because OZ people can't get the WB right ;) Must be too much sun affecting their vision :)

I can imagine this does look great hanging in your kitchen, though I'm not sure I would like the distraction of a white background. Nice shot mate:-)

I like the lighting and of course this is making me thirsty :)
Beautiful.

Thank you Mark, you are very kind.
Honestly, if I were to take a similar photo (I'm in the process of moving to a new house, so may not have a chance to) I would make the background white. I think a lighter b/g would make this already beautiful photo more beautiful. imo of course.

Thanks again.

To aam1234: I'm flattered that you find this an appealing image enough to want to emulate and I appreciate and respect the fact that you actually asked my permission. You do not need my permission of course but the fact that you asked before doing is rare and makes me respect you a great deal for doing so. I have better examples of this theme but, I can not post them here because they were sold as stock images, on an exclusive to the businesses they were sold to. Thank you and go for it! Markjay

Markjay, I was thinking of stealing/imitating this photo (if I have a chance). Would you mind.

Nice composition and maybe a little dodging of the peels might bring out the colors a little more but it really doesn't bother me leaving it as-is. Great shot - I want to try this too! CJ

This is a great image, Mark. I would try to bring a bit more of the color out, tho (for this poorly processed web image), if it were mine. I had to look for a while to see the lime slice in there cuz the green is so muted (on my monitor). Cheers, -mikey

Thanks, Rk. I can only tell you that on our kitchen wall, it's looking very sharp.
Ofcourse I sharpened and processed it for printing. This is just a poorly processed web image ;-) Markjay

Nice composition...feel the exposure is slightly off...and a bit soft. - RK
