Can tell you spent time setting up this shot. A solid color background would have improved it, I think. Right now you can see a portion of an electrical outlet in the middle right side. It looks like you tried to crop it out as much as you could, but it's leaving unbalanced space on the left side of the left-most apple. The table pattern is a bit distracting, and there appears to be a loose stem hanging around next to the apple on the right. Point of view is good. You are on the right track here, but when compared to other shots in the challenge this one is not quite as strong. Overall, a decent shot.

Concept: Good subject, very bad background choice.
Composition: The screen would have been better cropped to show no evidence of the window sill.
Challenge: Yes, definitely, but the background is so harshly lit and ultimately ugly as to detract from the potential that this image could have achieved.

Pity you couldn't quite get the apple slices on the left to line up as well as the ones on the right. Nice concept. The section of power outlet (phone outlet) at the right is distracting, though.

Great idea. Might have used a different background.

It would have been better if you had cropped the top a bit lower to get rid of the black in the upper left corner. Also the screen is a bit distracting.

i really like this photo, but i don't like the title. Should've left out the light-switch plate on the right. Still, the overall quality and design deserves at least a 7 or 8...

All the focus is on the glass. Thats fine but the wallpaper is distracting to the shot. I think this would of worked much better with a plain bg and a little different composition. You can sure cut apples well.

Comment by froglet:
good idea - a bigger DOF would have kept the apples in focus as well as the glass. Plainer background would've improved it too.

A tighter crop to eliminate the window sill (?) would have made this a bit more effective, I believe.
