I would have given this a 1 for that dust spot at the top.

My favorite of the ribbons, has a gentle, warm, old world feel to it that pulls me in and reminds me of pleasant smells and the warmth of a freshly baked pie. My only gripe is the semi-hot spot on the apple, but c'est la vie as they say.

Dude, if I gave out posthumous awards, this would have gotten my top honor.

My only 10 of the challenge.

Well what do you know!

In a challenge full of water drops, the lady that made them a front page phenomenon stays away from them completely, and manages a top 10 anyway.

You've got to like that eh?

As I said, a 6 because I've seen it so many times before, but can't take away a ribbon win, so congrats on that.

It certainly isn't easy to do.

Very nice! I was actually considering carving an Apple IIe out of an actual apple, but then realized what kind of work that would entail, and thought better of it. I really love the color contrast you have going on here, with the organic colorization in the apple (flesh and blood), with the almost industrial feel of the surface/background. Fantastic.

Very courageous. I'll bump this for creativity, but as a stand-alone portrait, I think it misses the mark a little bit.
