Very cool idea... I like this one. I wish it wasn't obvious that the background appears to be some sort of blinds... but it's hard to do with basic editing. I honestly wouldn't suggest changing the background either - I think the texture is part of the appeal. Nice work. :-)

It is simple - but I like the one a lot. I like the slight gradient background - the lighting looks great to me. Nice work!

I like this image a lot... looks cool. I'm curious to see the how'd you do that. I have an idea how I would accomplish it, but I wonder if it's the same as what you did. My only pick would be the two bright spots on the front of the apple, my eyes are really drawn to them.

I like this set up. There are only 2 things that I could significantly suggest: The water spots on the bottom (but I know that's hard to deal with in basic editing) and the apples appear to be really close to the background since I can see a hard shadow; granted it's not much of a shadow. All in all I think this is very good and my suggestions are truly just minor little picks. I hope this image does well! :-)
