Good and artistic composition. I like the texture created by the light and shadow areas, but feel that the light could have been better diffused to avoid the harsh reflection. I also think that the cropping is just a bit too tight (minor nitpicks). Overall a very nice image.

Great shape but too closely cropped in frame for me. Also need a little more light on lower right of apple.

"Twisted Granny" Is that what Twisted Sister became in old age? :)

Seriously, the shot very intriguing. How did you get it to stay expanded?

Comment by razwan:
A little less space at the top would have, in my opinion, been better. Also, perhaps too much glare / reflection near the middle of the photo. But a good photo with excellent creativity - well done!

One of my favorites this week. I like the muted green below, and the whimsical spiral up top, along with its tonal range of greens, oranges, and yellows. Beautifully lit, very playful photo.

Very nicely done. Focus looks great. I would have preferred just a bit less shadow on the right side. Meets the challenge in an imaginative way. 8

Have you tried cropping a little less on the sides to balance out the frame of the subject? I think it would have made an admirable improvement.
