Gosh, my first upload from the peach orchard went over so well...Not!!...that I thought I'd put myself out on the line to dry once more. Perhaps this one won't rot on the vine...er..limb! :)
*You will have noticed that I haven't been commenting as much on your fine images!..This is because of the pains in my hands!..the constant use of the keyboard, makes this difficult..so, my dear friends..I can only apologise to you all in advance!*

I reckon the fruit and the branch are the strong elements here, any way to reduce the impact/presence of the leaves and increase the power of the fruit and stem? The textures on the fruit and stem are contrasting and the sharpness of the photo makes the most of them. You did well to get such good colour and all that with such strong direct sunlight doing that light and shadow thing it does to mess us up. Often the simplest images are particularly hard to compose well, I think you did very well in this one. :)

The lighting on this is fantastic, so natural. I want to just reach through my screen and pick one of those peaches. Another shot I'm keeping in mind for the apple orchard. I doubt mine will be so peachy though. Sorry, tired and had to say it. :)
"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
