Very nice. Plus, I don't understand it (which makes it art)!

AWESOME portrait!!!!! Gosh, I'd like to think this could have been one of MY efforts. Even the set looks like my studio :-)

My only tiny gripe is that the apple is not in focus. This would ordinarily not be such a bad thing, but because the detail is so magnificent and profound EVERYWHERE else, I find it detracts from this fine image.

Still, beautiful lighting. Love how the snake seems to be saying "NOW can I eat???"

The color and the processing fit the subject very well, though I wonder if the processing hast been pushed just a little too far because of the graininess/sharpening that borders on artifacting at this size. There is enough detail from the props between the shoulders and the knees that the viewer isn't wishing to see the face as a way of learning about the subject, which is exactly what you were supposed to do for this challenge.
