Nice, very nice. Although... I haven't seen Ronco come up with a device that does what this does!

Well framed nice color and an obviously low tech answer to food processing. The angle adds a lot to the interest level as does the handle position and the plaster wall's stark bleach color. Only obvious thing I see that could improve this might be the punch of a contrast boost from the unsharp mask (%:20, rad: 50-100, levels:0). Perhaps too the back apple is not red enough for the rest of the shot. Great image.

Great subject, excellent composition, good use of color and lighting. Overall, a very strong shot that I hope does well. I especially like the fact that you presented your subject actually in use - the long peel with all the curlicues adds tons of visual interest!

The bright background is a distraction. The peeled apple looks very good in the lighting provided, though, and I like the placement of the other apples in the scene. The cutting marks on the wood in the foreground sort of cheapen the effort you went through to set this up. A 75% crop beginning in the left center of the image and just getting the tool handle would have improved this. It's still a nice effort. 6.

I really like this shot, good depth of field, it fits the theme well, but I wish the background wasn't so light, it seems to fade to almost solid white at the left side, losing all texture

I would have liked this photo more with different lighting and on a straight angle. The angle is "uncomfortable" and I cant' see a reason to make it uncomfortable.

Comment by HBunch:
Why yes, yes there are. 7 pillars. Your going to hate me cause of this, but the background is bugging me. see...in the first few to the left, there is a black space between each pillar, and then it kind of gets off spaced..then there's a door, and then a black space between the last 2 pillars to the right. This bugs my Obsessive Compulsive side, and sorry. I think your focus and clarity are great and lighting is great and I like the black and white. The angle and framing/cropping are really good. love the dramatic angle you took it at. those darn squares are buggin me though. lol still very nice find, and good take on the challenge. ~Heather~
