Several extra points for creativity. Background texture and color echo older camera bodies.

Well, on second look the lips become more obvious. Bumping up a point.

Amazing visual and conceptual complexity. Love the choice of surface and just the right degree of oxidation of the apple sculpture. One of the most artisticlly impressive images in this challenge. I'm voting ten. Unlikely to score high in general voting (I'd like to be wrong about that), but fine candidate for a Posthumous award and worthy of recognition and discussion. Might have cropped to not have the diagonal edge in the background, but I'm not reducing score. Thank you for posting it.

Nice droplets and color.

Apple Peep

Clever use of packing material as a diffuser that really enhances the soft tones of the fruit. I like the light a lot, yet something here has me thinking of the ironic comment "this picture is better than it looks." Mabye a tighter crop showing less of the plastic would help.

Beautiful portrait and I would have made the connection even without the title. Once outside of the constraints of basic editing, consider cloning out the metal snap in the corner.

High key works well. Wish the knife blades could be more visible.

Nice central heart. Visual allusion to body piercing elicitis a wince.
