Fresh Mangos, a photo from Virgin Islands, Other

Photographer's Note

Ripe, fresh and ready to eat. I took this picture at a road side fruit stand on the island of St. Maarten. I couldn't resist taking a picture of these colorful, ripen fruits.

I like this shot. The colors of the mangoes are spectacular and the shadows as well. The table top surface has nice carvings and colors as well. What could be improved is getting rid of the wide open space around the table and also getting rid of the calculator as it ruins the composition a bit. I would say a tight cropping would be best here, with just the mangoes visible (and a little of the table as well). Will post a Workshop for you.

The fruit are well photographed. Sharp image and natural colours.
But the composition isn't working, subject too centered and the elements around the table are not interesting enough to complete the whole image...

Nice colours but all elemlents around are disturbing.
Anyway well seen

Dabrowski is right, this one should be cropped in order to work. But the subject is great and this will be a good photo.

A very nice shot that values the harmony of the colors. Fil crop certainly helps to focus on the main theme and remove the distracting elements.

I agree with the others -- a close crop will turn this snapshot into a great photo.

A very pleasing image. The colors on the mangos match perfectly with the color of the table. The book, or whatever it is, in the background behind the table is a little bit annoying but the cropping takes care of that. I like both the cropped and uncropped images, the latter with out the book.

Yes, this is a nice shot crying out for a closer crop. I like Fil's crop, but you should try your own, there is more than one photograph to be had from this image.
