I really like the idea of apples and oranges. I especially like that you didn't just photo apples and oranges, but mashed them together with a nail. Great shot!

First of all, i don't get your title. If the b&w has to do with the tray and background, okay, I guess I get it. Second, i don't think apples and oranges represent opposites so much as they represent things that are different (and often not comparable). So I don't think you met the challenge. That said, putting the apple skin over the orange is quite clever.

I'm not picking up the relationship between the b/w and the apples oranges. I'm also not seeing the role played by the nail. I think I'd try to pick a single theme here so the image could make a stronger statement.

Great idea! Love how you put the orange and apple together on the nail and arranged the other halves. Colors are great and it is nice and sharp. 9

Ah - a "double" entry - very clever. Your colors are right on as is the exposure. But I do have a problem with your composition. The top of the appleorange is very crowded at the top, should be a bit more space above. And, I think it would be better if the entire orange half on the right were included in the frame. Overall - a very ORIGINAL idea very well executed.

Nice picture. I'm having trouble coming up with any constructive criticism for you. Maybe taking the brightness of the white background down a notch would keep it from stealing some attention from the fruit?

Is this the same person who impaled a tennis ball in "Rusted"? I like the idea and image.
