grapefruit! :la: I'm actually not very fond of this fruit, too bitter for my taste. Bit it's still very pretty, so :3
Funny thing is that I ended up eating it even if I hate it. I always do so with all the fruit I take a picture with. It's automatic, I don't know. Don't ask. lol

pomelo means grapefruit (in spanish)

(this is a late critique! oh well)
Your photography always surprises me, and your "tutti-frutti" series is always so whimsical and very appealing to the eye with the bright colors and the expressive emotion in your face!

I have seen a lot of photography that involve women's portraits and fruit together so the originality lacks; however, your series in particular is much more eye-catching than I have ever seen! Another downer is that, much of your gallery look very similar with each other, that being just facial portraiture that varies very little in subject-matter.
This photograph out of all of your tutti frutti series always stands out to me since the colors are different. By itself, this photo is very very nice. The color of your eye makeup gives a very cold, eye-popping feel that contrasts beautifully with the grapefruit, blush, and lip-stick. This contrast is very pleasing to the eye. Your eyes are always so captivating in all your portraits! Always so open and attentive and photogenic. Always so beautiful. Your eyes and makeup work very nicely with your pale complexion that always looks so pretty in photography.
Alone, this image looks great. But it stands out so much compared to the rest of your fruit series because the color scheme is so unique. All of the other series stick to just one color, where this one has three colors, being red, orange, and blue. In this image alone, it works out, but it in the series it looks a little odd and out of place.
Overall this is a VERY nice and successful piece!

You are always once of my most favorite photographers!
