Moderately lame idea, I know. I also know that it's not focused perfectly.

Simple shot. Crop, resize, removed what little color there was. NeatImage.

I "think" my reasoning is that wordplay is more fun than literal. 2, it's a simple composition that shouldn't offend too many people. And 3, I want to participate in as many challenges as I can so why the heck not.

Some might find the picture devoid of artistic merit, good for them. Hopefully, some people will like it because I think I do. :D

Wow. I got every single score. I suppose some people gave me a 1 simply because of the subject material. Since I meet the challenge and my shot is technically EXACTLY how I want it to be, this boggles my mind. But like I said, good for them.

Too out of focus

While it is in b/w and therefor meets the challenge, I don't see anything of any real interest here. Not trying to sound harsh.

Clever use of DOF, I admire the shot but still something is missing. It´s not really that interesting to me but this picture is technically very good. Excellent ligthing, good DOF and sharp as a whistle. (8)

Do you mean that someone makes computers other than Apple? ;-)

Fun idea! Apple devotees are so dedicated. I would like to see the apple icon a bit more in forcus and the Z a bit softer. I like this and the thought you put into it. Nice job.

it helps that the item thats the subject is blak and white to begin with. I like how it is specifically focused on one key

Somewhat bright but I like the depth and the macroness of it.

Interesting shot. Cool lighting, nice angle, DOF. Not sure if I grasp the reason of the concept, but still good.

I think that this is an interesting use of the medthod of inverting. Good DOF and good composition. Nice to see something different.

Please, more DOF, the apple is too blurry. Funny though.

cool dof

Nice idea, but your shot doesn't reflect the title in full: unfortunately apple sign is out of focus :-(
While inverting colors it would have been a better option to decrease output levels on the black side so that the final photo doesn't look so much overexposed...
