this is a pretty good shot, john. honestly, i don't find the crop to be all that interesting. i feel like i'd rather see more of the legs and the curves that those would present. i also like the edit you posted on photosig with the black and white body and the red apple. overall, a decent shot. i think you could expand on this subject more. as always, it's very well lit. good work. - mci

Comment by Konador:
I feel awkward voting on this because people might think that i like it because of the nakedness, but to be truthful it is a fantastic photo (and the model ain't half bad either :P ). The curves from her pose blend in so well with the apple, and her pink pastel skin is great contrast to the black background and the vibrant red apple! Great photo, and best of luck in the challenge! 10 -- Konador

Comment by Kavey:
This is beautiful - first thing I thought was of Eve and the temptation of the apple and the whole forbidden fruit thing. (Which I am sure was your intention).
But with the lovely expanse of smooth (and I'm very envious to say, cellulite-free) thigh at the right, I kind of want more weight at the left, bosoms rather than rib cage. No insult to owner of lush body intended :)
8, Kavey

the insinuated idea that a part of the human body is forbidden is appaling to me.

You are sure to get comments (and compliments!) on this one. Your model is beautiful ... nice tonal range on her skin, terrific curves, very nicely balanced lights and darks, good use of negative space. The apple is witty, for all its Eve connotations (lust, forbidden knowledge) and for its color. I could honestly gawk at this photo all day long. This is teetering between a 9 and 10 for me ... if it misses the 10, it's because 10 means perfect -- and to be super picky, there are a few teensy blemishes on the closer thigh, easily spot edited after the challenge.

Comment by daysez:
I like the sensual temtation, almost biblical in proportion. The visual border of the apple with the dark background in my opinion detracts from the overall exclence of this composition, but still one of my top ten picks this week.
