Oranges?

Hey everyone! I have the most random and weirdest pictures. :)
So the story goes like this..... A Saturday morning, the weather was looking great. It was the first nice, warm day for spring. Since it was gorgeous outside, I made some orange juice to drink. After I made some for my family, I went to drink some outdoors. It was very very sunny and hot. Plus, the grass was starting to get greener. So I thought, hey, why not just take some pictures of these oranges since I have so many.They will symbolize the first great day of spring! And below are the pictures of the about-to-be-thrown-away oranges. (The orange juice was really yummy!) 
I took all of these pictures on my digital camera. None of these are photoshopped. My favorites were the last few. In all of these pictures, notice the amount of sunlight.That is what happens if you take pictures in the morning. There is just too much sunlight, and "light spots" get created on the oranges. (When the light is being reflected off of the orange.) It is called a light spot. 

This was a picture looking down at the oranges. There was just too much light, so you cant see a lot of detail on the orange.

These are the oranges at eye level. They are still arranged the same way, and the oranges are put off to the side of the picture for a reason. If they were just in the middle of the picture, it doesn't bring the reader as much attention. So, putting the object slightly off center will give the picture a slightly better look. (I realized the oranges are off to the side too much.)


This is what it would look like if the oranges were placed in the center of the picture. 

These are the same oranges zoomed out. And, they are slightly off center to the right. It is a more straightforward way of showing the oranges as the main object. 

I got bored of the same arrangements, so I scattered them in the grass. This is cool because you don't get any of other background. Like the trees and sky. Here, you just have the oranges and the grass, so there are less distractions.

This was a very cool picture I got the flower (it's a weed) to focus. The oranges then became a part of the background.

This was similar to the picture right above but it is zoomed in a little. (I took the picture zoomed in, I did not zoom in by photoshop or anything like that) Basically, same thing as above. The flower is in focus, rather than the oranges. 

This is also the same thing as the two above pictures. This one is zoomed in even more. You can see the flower clearly and in good detail. If you look past the flower, the oranges come into a blurry view. It is still a part of the background. Actually, if you think about it, it is a very very odd background. You have the flower as the main object, and then oranges in grass as your background. Very unusual... :) And also notice, I didn't place the flower off center. If I had, it would give the photo a more artistic view, and would want the viewer to look elsewhere too.
