There's some weird pixelation here, but it's a great idea!

A good solid 8, by my scale.

Comment by zeuszen:
Artistically, the capture appears quite posed and clicheesque without adding any other feeling or sense. The (given) facial expression is too trivially vacuous to convey anything beyond the factual visual data contained in this shot. I'd prefer to see the subject more to the left within the frame, in order to provide ample space for the eyes to view.

Technically, the dof is too shallow to clearly create an association between the grapes and (current) subject. To achieve this, IMO, would add a vital element, presently lacking.

Ideally, the background could be significantly more blurred, also, which may be partially accomplished by increasing the dof toward the foreground.

I would suggest to step down the exposure to avoid the light burns on the leaves in the foreground.

I like this - it's a good idea but I thing the background spoils it & I'm not sure about the framing (she's eating an apple & this is a grapevine?). The road visible over her left-hand shoulder and the path lights(?) over her right detract since I don't think they had those in the Garden of Eden. So I think it's a good idea, reasonably well executed, but could be better. I'd give this a 6.

I like it very much. The model looks very nice and the Eve apple idea is good (if not the only one in the challenge). The only major flaw is the brightness to the foreground. I would have also preferred the grapes to be in focus, but that's a personal choice. 7

Good idea, but aren't those "jaggies" on the top of her right leg?

You must have turned the picture and cropped it. I can see the pixels on leg. 4
