I like how the leading plum,by its leaves,links the two other fruits. A serpentine leave towards the plum on the left and a stiff one towards the third fruit:like two wings spread.Magically,the leave in the center looks like a swan neck,delicately tilted back.A poetic and pulsating still life.

Beautiful as ever, Julian. I like the touch of color on the left plum towards the bottom - very realistic and transparent-looking.
