Red Golden Delicious

Comment by Glacierwolf:
On second thought - you had the right picture. It's got nice focus and color. Just that desaturating the right and left fruit is too mundane - mostly becaues those two items have very little contrast and the white background isn't adding anything to your picture. The red apple is already dead center and the focus of attention - sure, desaturating the right and left diid help him, but, only a little. The picture is still a little bland. I would have alternated the shadow colors and fruit colors. Desat the left apple and leave the shadow in color, color the center, desat it's shadow, and on the right leave the apple desat and add the color. A background of sliced and desaturated apples would have added allot to this rather than a blank white background too.

This image is very formal and regal - as it should be. Nice exposure, but the bright white on the right top is unfortunate. Composition is ok but ever-so-slightly tilted. Your title does indeed make it a news story..... it's possible (many not too plausible though.)

The story is about the uniform, so I think you should have shown the whole uniform.
