An apple a day....

This is a nice setup, and idea. I'd like to offer some help on getting the photo a better rated score. I'd suggest trying to using levels and curves to take the white up to have a cleaner background area. I'd also suggest that its just a bit under exposed on the apple. Perhaps an exposure adjustment as well. maybe a little more forward light. Also adding more light on the background without getting it on the subject will help.

This is s nicely done photograph. Nice Horizon, nice use of long exposure to handle the smooth flow of water. Its nicely saturated and yet not blowen out. Near perfect exposure I'd say. This is an 8 from me. Well done.

This is a nice photo, meets the challenge well, saturation is pretty good on the landscape, however its a bit over saturated on the skin. I'd recommend backing down the reds a bit using selective color. Otherwise nicely done.

I like this photo, the clarity and sharpness of it are very good. I wish it wasnt so centered though. Dropped off to one side and down to the bottom this photo would be amazing. 6

This photograph is a nice idea and nicely composed. HOwever it appears oversharpened and noisy. I like the colors and concept.

I like the idea and the theme, but it disturbs me a bit that the photo is done with a very small child in the background as the subject of your entry with all the blood on the tool. it also seems a bit noisy.
