Initial imapact: Yummy crunchy apple.....
Color: Wonderfull colors. You have captured the colors of the apple perfectly. It has a very crisp and cold texture and look to it. Initialy I didn't like the green straw but after a few seconds it seemd apropriate. Giving it a somewhat stem like appearance.
Focus: Very crisp ans well defined focus. I love the way the DOF fades hust the slightest amount on the top of the apple slightly bluring the back of the apple. Thsi adds a lot to the texture and pepth of the photo. Great job in this catagory.
Lighting: This is where I feel this shot is lacking a little bit. I think this would have been a lot more powerfull image if it had been lit in a manner to eliminate shaddow. I never ahve been fond of shadows on a white background. More persomal tastle the technical I would imaging.
Meeting the challenge: Theres and apple... can't realy go wrong there.
Composition: The crack? on the table in the apples shadow and the spot next to the stem are both very distracting and un apealling to the image. I would like to see them remioved. Beyond that and the shadow I realy have zero complaints.
Conclusion: This is a very strong and well composed image. I feel that the technical flaws in this phot are very small and easily fixed. This is a photo that no one would be ashamed to have in there portfolio. Very nice job keep up the great work.
