I love the idea of this one but the lighting seems too bright. Maybe if you edited it a little more in post processing. I would try giving it more saturation, bring out the green. Just my humble oppinion.6

I like the bench. My first thought is that I would like to have the light warmer in tone. I like the low angle you took the image at.

Hey there from the Critique Club

This is one of the most creative captures of the challenge. You did a very nice job presenting the appearance that the apples are indeed joined. I know that you've heard some of it already, but I going to echo your past comments a bit. The black dish is horribly distracting. With it simply sitting there, it probably took away a full point for most of the voters, maybe even more. Perhaps it was a shot at your last Complementary Colors challenge, including the black dish on the white background. It also looks like your camera chose the dish for the main point of focus for the image, thus leaving the apple just a touch out of focus. With the aperture set at 2.8, your depth of field is left very shallow. Judging from that and the 1/50 sec shutter speed, I assume that you were trying to compensate for low light. May try it again outside, or in a brighter room. I like the wide, rectangular composition that you created, and the colors complement each other nicely. I would have liked it a bit better if the green skin had gone up to the stem, but that wouldn't cost you any points in my voting. I think you had an excellent idea that didn't reach its full potential. The creativity is well above average, but the execution falls a bit below. As is, I'd rank it in the 3-4 range. Removing the dish and improving the focus would easily put in in the 6-7 range, in my opinion.

I am colourblind (red/green) but still I can see that this is red and green. Arent they complimentary colours?

I like the creativity! I am not sure what the black thing is, but IMO it takes away from the photo.
