my favorite color combination 
the texture and detail of the fruit adds to this very balanced work

Thank you, well the background was actually grey, Capture NX helped me there.
You got it right, using the complimentary color was what I tried to archive, if you can edit the colors afterwards in post processing everythings gets so much easier

if you edit the color like that don't you have to put the image in a manipulation category rather than photography?
just wondering

Nah, I didn't manipulate much, I just changes the tonality of the plain grey background to a plain blue, it's a minor edit that is pretty common with most water-scape pics you will see

not at all. Well I think you can call it photo manipulation if there is something that really isn't looking natural anymore, but as long as no one can tell, it's just a minor edit. For example, blue water could have been blue, that's nothing strange about it, would it be red however, then if would be a clear manipulation. Also my mandarin here, if I'd just put a blue sheet of paper below it, then it would have had the same effect, but I didn't had one ^^

you're welcome, I'm confused where to submit my stuff too from time to time, but as long as it still looks natural I'd call it a minor edit

Really nice, and i almost agree with you, best fruit in the world.
Cant help but think that if you crop the right just that little bit off might make it stand out a touch more!
Seems a bit of "wasted space" showing the middle bit of the fruit so much!

Thanks!
Yeah I don't know, I thought about cutting it that way at first, but then there was so much blue space on the left side and cropping more didn't seem right somehow...

Simplest way to see which looks best, do one both ways and see!

Yeah I think so, well I'll take another one someday(I guess when I get that 250D Diopter that has twice the magnification of the 500D I used here) and i'll think about a better crop then ^^

Hm...versuche das nächste mal, das Licht von weiter oben kommen zu lassen. Die Reflektionen auf der Mandarine zeigen, dass du von vorne den Blitz benutzt hast, was dem Ganzen aber die Schatten und damit die Tiefe nimmt.

Ja habs auch mit indirektem Blitzlicht versucht aber das wurde irgenwie nicht wirklich gut ausgeleuchtet, liegt wohl daran, dass ich recht nahe dran war. Leicht nach hinten blitzen kann mein SB400 leider nicht, also nur 90° gerade hinauf, außerdem hab ich 3,5m hohe Wände in meinem Zimmer, auch nicht das wahre für die Technik...
Nen weißes Blatt papier drüberhalten wäre wohl noch ne möglichkeit gewesen, aber ehrlichgesagt bin ich so schon froh, dass es scharf geworden ist bei 200mm und relativ großem abbildungsmaßstab und ner schlappen 1/60 Sekunde, das war damals mit dem Sigma das ich hatte unmachbar, also greift der Stabi wohl auch bei Makro bis zu nem gewissen Grad...

Ich glaube du benötigst ein kleines Stativ.
