Clever, and it meets the yellow challenge, too! I love the little catchlights on the rims.

Good image for rhythm. Nicely composed with an inventive subject. And the yellow and white on black makes it even more rhythmic. Well done.

Composition - Nicely arrange flowers for this shot. They didn't have anything more colorful? :) Brilliant colors, jumping off the page but not oversaturated. The green buds on the left side are my only complaint about the picture itself. I'm not so sure about the border but the image is a whole is very very strong except for the flower buds on the left. Not much else to say but well done!

Photography - If there was a camera just made for taking still shots with strong colors, you have it. Good crisp image.

Processing - Looks good. Color is strong but not too strong. I think cropping the buds on the left would've helped this picture possibly into a ribbon. Also good

Overall - Good good good good good pic. I don't know what else to say. Its hard for someone like me to be of much help on a pic like this. As I said many times before, crop the buds out of the left, and lose the border and you might've had yourself a ribbon. Very well taken pic. I can't believe you took the pic in a shopping bag to be honest though. Nice Job! - Bob

Meets the Challenge: Perfectly!

Composition: I cannot find fault with the composition. Good cropping. Nice neutral colors in the background and the non-subject items help bring out the red in the apples.

Technical Quality: Very Good. Colors perfect, focus very good. I would also (like others below) liked to have seen the "meat" of the bitten apple with more light on it. Maybe a little fill flash with a make-shift bounce would have helped lighten it up or maybe could have been lightened up a little more in a levels adjustment. Focus very good, no post-processing issues noticed.

Creativity: Good, although not what I would consider extremely creative.

Overall Conclusion: Beautiful photograph, well shot and very appealing with lots of warmth expressed.

Hope this helps, if you have questions, feel free to email me.
