Hanging Around

New to photography, so all constructive criticism welcomed...

welcome to the comunity

 

first,

 

you image lacks focus-sharpness, fruit is not sharp small or large version

second,

 

it would be nicer image if you recompose this frame in such a way that the bright orange fruir appears on darker backgroud it helps to bring attention to it

it would stand out ever more

If I was you I would take this image from positon furder to the left so I can get baranches and leaves behind the fruit

try it yourself and have fun with your camera :)

anyway its a nice fruit I like to eat them

 

 

regards !

This was at about head height and my first shot was from the left which then meant the background was sky. I immediately realised, as you suggested, that I needed a darker background, and so had to raise the camera above my head to look down on this and get the tree trunk and branches to try and provide a darker background. Obviously this wasn't the most stable shooting position hence the loss of sharpness. Stepladder and tripod next time!
