Cleverly done :o) Perhaps a second light on the righthand side would help balance the image, and a slight adjustment on the crop so that the rightmost holly leaf isnt as close to the border might help too.

This is a really great idea. This is a christmas card for sure. I love it. The angle and framing/cropping is great. I like the added space at the top, and the border really sets this off. colors are great, as is the focus and clarity. I am not sure if I might like to see the bottom of the apple in focus or not. I think it's ok as is, but maybe I'd like to see it with the bottom in focus for comparrison. what a wonderful, pleasing to look at shot. Good luck in the challenge.

it is a very creative idea thats for sure... maybe too much so? since you can see what was done it seems a bit contrived... now if there was a way to make it look real, you would really have a shot!
