Comment by ubique:
This was surprisingly under-appreciated, and there's no clue in the comments as to why. I saw it only after the challenge, but I'd have placed in in the top ten (and certainly higher than any of the top three). But even leaving my erratic tastes aside, it had many qualities that should have been embraced by the leaden masses at DPC as well. It has beautiful colours and textures, and the composition is classically appealing. There is also a certain amount of very charming whimsy; leaves and fruit, separated by the wire mesh ... surely there's some irresistible allegorical (or at least figurative) dimension to that? Maybe you should have just hammered a fistful of nails into the apples.

Comment by posthumous:
nice simple arrangement with strong geometry contrasting with a more organic shape on the diagonal. 8

Lighting and color are good!
That bit of chair or whatever on the bottom right is a bit distracting, I'd clone it out. Also, what you can see of your hand just isn't enough, its a distraction. Maybe you could have grabbed the front of you very cool hat to show more of your hand. The way your shoulder and arm go out of the left side of the frame doesn't quite work for me, maybe if you could have caught your arm all the way out to your elbow.

Nice idea, but the shadows are too harsh. I would crop out the top of the chair as well.

Comment by oOWonderBreadOo:
this is excellent in every way except that your eyes are out of focus. I love this shot tho! you might try a selection on the eyes only and sharpen them to see if it could have helped? 6
