Olá VIC,
Impressive work. I like the concentration from light and focus on the orange fruits. Very nice shallow DOF, good sharpness, delicate tones and bokeh.
Well done.

Indeed, Loquats look shy in this wonderful capture in ambient light, Vic!

The colors of this delicious fruit are beautifully shown and so natural in their appearance in this shot.
Sharpness and DOF are excellent, and clarity is well done.
Good contrasts exist within the shot.

Several times I took shots from Loquats (but none of the quality like the one you posted today) as we have lot of this fruits growing in Northern India and I can't stop eating them as they are so delicious. In Japan and Germany, they are too expensive to buy.

Have a nice weekend.

Kind regards,
Paras

Hi Vic,
Splendid use of available lighting and a lovely close up. I like the subtle colors of the fruit. Maybe I would have opted to crop more than half of the right side of the blurred foliage...it's too much for me!
Good use of shallow DOF.
Regards,

Francis Xavier

Hi Vic

Impressive subdued lighting, gives a new prespective and texture to the tones, I like the out of focus, darkened areas as they enhance the fruit. tfs

Hello Vic,
I love this fruit spring season. It has relatively large seeds as compared with any other bush berries, therefore, it's not considered as bush berry. It also have skin that needs to be removed before eating - at least I prefer to do that. Interestingly composed image. Well done my friend. Thanks for sharing.
Kind Regards,
Inaam

Hi Vic,
Well seen and a great capture with the natural light highliting the loquats surrounded by the darker areas. Interesting note, TFS.

Hello Vic, I like the close up of the Loquat fruit, as they seem to be hiding away in the depth of the tree.As your title says, they seem a little shy!
The light is soft and muted, but because of their colour the fruits seem to glow.
Nice dark green surrounding leaves contrast beautifully.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hi Vic, this is pure nostalgia for me, we had a loquat tree when I was a boy in Gisborne.
My family moved to Auckland in 1954, and I haven't seen a loquat since :(
Your pic makes the fruit appear to glow.
A lovely image TFS.
