I understand that a lot of reddit is about being praise worthy. But to learn, you need critique. And as such it is not meant to be an insult. And at the end of the day if you're satisfied with the photography, that's all that matters.

Tones are ok but I think focus needs to be worked on. It feels as though a proper camera/lens was not used. Oddly, it has grain which wouldn't be bad normally. Here instead, it suggests a lighting/exposure problem. But it could also be a lack of proper digital editing.

Something else, at least to myself make this feel lacking. But I'm unable to place what that thing is precisely particularly without taking a second look. I think maybe the focus point is too centered. Much like a bullseye. Perhaps that was what you was going for though.

I believe there may be too much negative space as well, or at least balanced

Thanks! Its very good what you said. the grain here is digital (these are laboratory budget scans, but the noritsu scanner can do better. I scanned the first frame in high resolution on a Nikon - everything is much better there). I have no complaints about the exposure meter. I agree that somewhere the composition, light, focus, depth of field are wrong. but I must say that all 36 frames were improvisation, without preparation and idea.

Why is this orange sitting on this strangely erotic table?

Ah, another photo of the “male gaze” of a headless objectified woman.

if this photo was taken by a woman, would it be ok?

It doesn’t really matter who takes it. It’s the same idea. And women can be effected by this objectification of Women’s bodies as well.

This is not a new idea. If you are not familiar with this take a look

and there will be criticism from the point of view of photography? because everything else is of little interest to me

Not bad, but I think a slightly farther out perspective would help. It feels a little weird seeing only part of the limbs and having them cut off. The orange would do better if it were more offset from the center.

The form is really nice though, it’s really close to being a great photograph with some slight camera composition changes

I’m Petty sure that’s not how you eat an orange, but I could be wrong

Well that’s the good thing about oranges, you can open them from any end as it has no true end

The lighting and film quality is fine, cropping/composition could be a lot better and the story of the photo feels uninspired. I can’t imagine what I’m supposed to feel when I see this other than maybe “huuuuhhh fruit woman sexy”. It’s reminiscent of the photography from men who hope their camera will get them laid. These type of men make art like they fuck- beckon you in with a promise of stimulation and only present you with their self-satisfaction, leaving the viewer empty-handed and their time wasted.
