Nice shot. Food is my favorite photo subject.  That is something that could be framed.

It doesn't ha e a lot of drama like classic still life but still has character. I'll leave further comments to people that know what they are talking about.

Thanks T bird, I agree, the light is too flat

Yeah, well put, classical still life often has light swept across but I think your light is better for this type of shot.

Apart from the post-processing of this photo, I'm not completely satisfied, this light is too flat. I would have liked an oblique and punctual beam of light on the fruits to give it more character. The challenge was to take a photo with a feeling opposite to that of the classic still life.

Thanks for watching

Pierre.
