The lighting is interesting - it shows the same effect as the phases of the moon. The texture comes across nicely, but IMHO it could use better DOF.

Overall I think it's a well executed shot. Presumably you are trying to communicate the texture of the orange, but the lighting and composition promotes the orange itself insteaf ot it's texture -- to me that is. Yes, texture is present unfortunately not enough to captivate me. Good luck.

I am not sure how I missed this. This is your new baby right? She is a doll. I love the blonde fuzz. So how big was she?

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This was one of my favs from the PWL Challenge. The overall composition of the shot is very well done.

But the negative space on the right is a bit too much for my personal taste, the rule of thirds is not in play here and the shot looks almost cut in half. The light that was used is perfect for the apples but perhaps a third apple slightly to the right or a more frontal approach on the apples.

I really can't find anything that I don't like about the shot except the balance issue. It's well done, the light is very well done and the apples look very delicious as a result!

Good Luck In Future Challenges!
