That one seems to have been around quite a few days. Not crazy about the white specks in various places of the background.

Seems a bit over processed in my opinion

If your title correctly identifies the subject as an apple (the wrinkles and colors do seem consistent with a dried piece of formerly desirable fruit), you may be at risk of someone noticing an implied transition process from once living to no longer living (with ironic indirect reference to the childhood rhymed advice finishing with "keeps the doctor away" -- but too late for this patient). Unfortunately, that might also trigger memory of the specially flagged notice attached to this challenge: "Extra rules apply to this challenge Shots of currently living or once living things may be disqualified" (underline and bold added). Otherwise nicely detailed and interesting.

I faced a voting dilemma on this image. On one hand the main subject is clearly something that was once living, which doesn't meet the challenge criteria. On the other hand, the subject is clearly no longer living and the spoon is inanimate.... What to do? I compromised and decided to "bend" the rule (in my mind) for voting, because I think the overall image is well composed and has an interesting post processing texture to it.

Sorry, but a shriveled apple is not an inanimate object.
