Nice viewpoint :) Seems like the camera focussed on the reflection of the top of the glass rather than the liquid.

The Rose

OK, another rose. The background is a little busy, I think, and the lighting a little hard-edged for a soft subject -- perhaps try lighting by reflection or putting white (or red) fabric in front of the sun. That might also help the orange tinge on the rose.

Roses Are Red

Indeed, roses are red. I can't help focussing on the eyes of the gorilla, though, and there's nothing red there. +1 for cuteness factor.

How Bout Them Apples!

Many random comments:
- some apples are red. These ones look kind of purple, though...
- I think the lighting is a little hard (and blue, possibly resulting in the purplish look of the apples); the rearmost ones kind of fade into the background, so there's a lack of distinction between the named subject and its framing. The apples could use a polish, too...
- Cropping the apples at the edges implies to me that there's continuation of the apple-field -- but the second row is incomplete, which doesn't bear this out. Again, lighting of the background causes the subject to fade away.
- Food photography is always tricky; if you're trying to make something look appetising (so people will like it and vote for it), I think it's important to have it be clean. Perhaps next time throw something else in for contrast

This could just as easily be "Green"; technically good, though.
