Thanks for all the comments and votes :)

This was sort of like a lightbulb went on idea, but spur of the moment.
Shot just a few hours before the challenge deadline. A few things I would've liked to do better, get enough DOF so the stem appeared even sharper enough but still keep the tangerines behind in an OOF state. I would think their imperfections would be more of a hinder and since spot editing is not allowed you get my point ;) same goes with the blown highlight of the light reflecting off one of the tangerines. My hands where just itching to clone that out. Use of a different light source would've been better but not handy at the moment. Also.. yes the bit of green visible was left there on purpose. I would really like to reshoot this image with some of the suggestions put into place. This was a really fun challenge. Thanks again, everyone.

My eye is drawn to the reflection spot on the orange. Interesting idea painting apple orange but a little more DOF would put more detail on the oranges (sorry but at first glance I thought they were pumpkins0.

Comment by ajmason66:
good idea... did you leave the green spots so that the viewer would know it was an apple??? I would have known it anyways because of the stem...

Apples and oranges, oh my! Very clever and well done.
( Just wanted to stop back and restate how impressed I am with this. A simple clever idea well thought out and well presented. Ulitmate bump.)
