Love this shot! There's so much to see here. It's not just your normal apple in the normal setting. I like this picture not only of the carving, but the depth it gives and the textures you chose for the background. The choice of colors really add to the dark feel I get from this (love dark moody stuff). Well done! 9 simply for orginality, focus and how it grabbed me.

Sorta freaky, but like the fact that it's a little different. Subtle. like the browning of the apple and background/surface.

Amazing visual and conceptual complexity. Love the choice of surface and just the right degree of oxidation of the apple sculpture. One of the most artisticlly impressive images in this challenge. I'm voting ten. Unlikely to score high in general voting (I'd like to be wrong about that), but fine candidate for a Posthumous award and worthy of recognition and discussion. Might have cropped to not have the diagonal edge in the background, but I'm not reducing score. Thank you for posting it.

Very nice! I was actually considering carving an Apple IIe out of an actual apple, but then realized what kind of work that would entail, and thought better of it. I really love the color contrast you have going on here, with the organic colorization in the apple (flesh and blood), with the almost industrial feel of the surface/background. Fantastic.

Hello Chief how's it going? I liked your shot in voting and have done the same thing you did when I got my new glass last year. I was able to bring up out the bokeh a lot by adjusting the exposure and saturation as well as the blacks and found the shot had more pop to it. That's what I thought was missing from this shot was the enhanced background. Otherwise as I first said I liked your photo.

All the best to you and yours.

MAX!

I think side lighting might have brought out the face a bit better. The background would have worked better with a smoother subject. As it is, I think the two textures compete for attention.
