I'm giving this a 6 becuase I love the idea. If this was a little sharper it could easily be on the front page...

Quite fitting that the US claims apple pie as a symbol of their country given that it (like the people who founded the US) was originally european; and only with the importation of several ingredients across the atlantic was it possible to be recreated in the foreign land (while the US is still strong on immigration and amalgamating people into the melting pot of US culture). The integration of apple pie into US culture is an interesting 2 minute read if you're so inclined :)

Regarding the image, it's a good picture technically with the only problem being a slight shadow due to the light source, but that is relatively insignificant to the overall image presented.
a 7 from me.

Fits the challenge well. Wish the focus was better on the pie though.

This almost looks like a cut out. It's a little flat to me. Sorry, just not the wow factor. But I think it could be much better with a couple of adjustments.
