Nice still life, without being over complicated and not over-saturated. Positioning of the lighting and the shadows works well. ((7))

I like the "old oil painting" feel of this.

Very nicely done. Looks like an oil painting. A couple of more apples or maybe some other item added to the photo might have increased the drama or interest. But I'm not sure what to suggest to add. I scored this an 8. I think this would look beautiful framed on a wall.

This is an excellent still life... the use of negative space around the subject really draws me in to the photo.

I like the old painting quality of this, with just enough detail to make me want to see more. Bumping up a notch.

Splendid still life. a 10 for sure.

Very nice. Good light. Maybe the shadow L of the L-most apple is a bit too strong. Good comp. I like the black frame :) Maybe a tad too much USM?

A co-worker just said, "Like an old master's painting!" My opinion exactly! It does what you set out to do, and does it elegantly! 9

BEAUTIFUL!!! Looks like a painting! Great job with your lighting... absolutely stunning photo. Unfortunately the low allowance for KB and your compression caused some artifacting on the pure black which is a shame. I'm not sure... it's a little late, and can't think completely, but I believe you might be able to deal with this by saving for the web in photoshop, instead of just saving straight off at a low compression. Gorgeous photo though. I'm giving it a 9... would have been a 10 if it weren't for the artifacting. Good luck!

The rich lighting really makes this work. Feels old fashioned and warm.

The crop is a little square for my taste and it could use just a tiny bit more light. I like the low light effect, but it's just a little too low here.

This looks so much like a painting, it's scary. Wow.

This is great. Love the lighting and colors.

This reminds me of a carravagio painting with the dramatic lighting. I love the textures and arrangement. It's nice to see still life photography can still be innovative.

Nice rustic image but a little dark on my computer.

If the top of the basket separated from the background, I'd have given this lovely, moody image a full point more.

Good still life. I like the painterly feel created by the lighting.
