I gave this image a 6 during voting. I liked the general concept. The blue highlights on the twigs was especially nice. The lighting on and around the apple was rather harsh and detracted, as did the black semi-transparent blob at the top center of the picture. Had the top of the image been cropped about 1/4 inch above the apple, the composition itself would have been greatly improved and I would have scored it even higher.

Comment by Bear_Music:
"In Search of Lost Time" or, more commonly in English, "Remembrance of Things Past", Proust's masterpiece and a seminal work of literature. While I might have been more engaged by some stale, dusty madeleines, this works quite well for me: there's a sort of an aching husk of longing to it.

7 from me.

Nice tones, gives a nostalgic feel in line with the novel. the ledge at the bottom is a little distracting. Interesting still life.6.

Comment by Garry:
Very interesting processing on this leaves! Almost painterly! Quite appealing. Wish there was a little more lights/highlights to give it some depth - comes off a little flat right now. Probably crop that bottom strip off too. Anyway, these leaves have surely failed in their search for lost time as must all things in time.

I'm surprised it didn't end up higher. You had my 10. Still, great composition.

Comment by posthumous:
I haven't read this book, though I did read a book about this book. The abstract composition reflects the endless twists of the main characters thoughts and remembrances, a good visual metaphor. 6
