Interesting subject, I like the colors a lot as well as the composition. I feel like it's missing something, but I can't put my finger on it. I think the patch of skin that I see as the focus isn't sharp enough perhaps?

I like the idea of an apple macro. This is pretty effective. I like the level of detail.

I spent two weeks once, trying to reproduce this.



I learned a lot about lighting and lens focal lengths, and a little about apples. Apparently there are apples with fuzzy skins (although I couldn't find one then), and the water beads up on them better. A fuzzy skin might look better in a macro shot, too.

Interesting angle and nice colours. Seeing the core close up makes it look pretty gross!

I like the angle....a little more focus needed on the subject though.

Nice close up detail....especially of an electronic screen.
