I like the composition for the most part but find that the photo looks a bit soft.

Also (I don't want to seem nitpicky and apologize for this) but the idea is to show fresh apples spilling from the bucket, yes? These almost seem to faux, too waxy supermarket perfect (no stems on some no leaves at all) and it seems to clash with the scene.

The composition and the shot is great though.

This is a wonderful image. The Apple Growers of America need to see this image, they might use it in an add. There is something about these apples, they almost looked candied or something. They don't seem to be as sharply in focus as the leaves around them. I love all the different textures going on in this image, from the fruit to the wood to the leaves to the iron in the wheel and hinge, as well as the galvanized bucket. <7>

I think if this shot would have been taken at sunrise/sunset the lighting would have been much better.

I like the contrast of bland colors with the bold grass (weeds) and apples. Nicely done.
