All American Dip
by AJFI

Comment:
feels a little more like a yellow-blue than a red-blue, so a teeny bit discordant against that particular red. but the shiny reflection and the drips make it work. 8

I loved this image except the color of the apple! I would have gone with green or solid red like this - the yellow changes the balance of hues. Gorgeous water editing. 8

Sword in the Apple
by Squeakjob

Comment:
too garish a color on the apple to have that royal Arthurian feel to it. A deep red apple against green velvet and the high shimmer of the sword might have served your theme better.

too stark. looks unbalanced. (with shadow on white side.)

Cute idea, but the straight line doesn't spark interest. Maybe if the apples were grouped together as if talking - with the red apple slightly (!) beyond the group's edge?

Red and Black
by thefly

Comment:
Apple coloring: Rich, without losing the lighter contrasts.
Background: Like the black velvet that showcases jewelry so beautifully.
and... Continuing the same all around the apples works so effectly.
Set Up: Brilliant! To position each at different angles=fluidity for interest.
Cropping: Tight crop polishes this image off exquisitely.
Lighting: Perfect - enough to keep bright, dark enough to enrich the reds.
Gush-Level?: Mega-High 10 (y'think this might be my favorite?)

Beautiful. (but, wishing the branch rested on the surface - or a second brach to block the open are) 9
