I like the composition a lot. I think the apples need a little more sharpness. The light and shadows are nice. (voted earlier)

Love the lighting on this. Grand composition.

(If it were mine, I might crop out everything but the top of that nice table, as I might consider the design a distraction from the apples...for the purposes of this competition only.)

Voted earlier coming back to comment and bump up.

Nice lighting on the bowl of red apples and the spotlight behind that gives off a nice warm halo. I like that it is off center to add a bit more visual interest. I do have one critique and that is on the framing/crop. I think it would be better if you kept in a rectangular crop but I'd shave off more of the bottom to get rid of the legs. Yes, you would lose some of those nice carved details but with the way it is now it looks 'stunted' and chopped. Crop out just above where the legs meet the body of the table makes it more polished and more importantly keeps the eyes attention focused on your main subject which is the red bowl of red apples.

I can feel the crunch and taste the sweetness. I do like mine cold, however.. great choices here regarding the photo too.
