The lush, silky feel of this photo has been on my mind ever since voting. These apples look amazingly sexy and delicious. Great lighting and composition. 9

Comment by Kathy:
Apple coloring: Rich, without losing the lighter contrasts.
Background: Like the black velvet that showcases jewelry so beautifully.
and... Continuing the same all around the apples works so effectly.
Set Up: Brilliant! To position each at different angles=fluidity for interest.
Cropping: Tight crop polishes this image off exquisitely.
Lighting: Perfect - enough to keep bright, dark enough to enrich the reds.
Gush-Level?: Mega-High 10 (y'think this might be my favorite?)

I have given five pictures 10 in this challenge and this is one of them. The apples have an almost surreal feel to them. I think you could take a bit off the top and still have a great picture.

Nice composition but a little too waxy and reflective.
