Strangely enough, I actually adjusted my white balance for cloudy conditions, compensated exposure by -0.5, used low contrast and low sharpness, and used spot metering. I set my camera on shq, and hand held. Post processing included less brightness, more contrast, more saturation, and stronger focus. Cropped and resized.

I really like how the sunlight hits the big green shiny leaf. I would have given this an 8 had I voted in this challenge. Well done!

Beautiful colours. I come from apple country (Canada), and live in imported apples only country (Taiwan), so I appreciate the look of fresh tree-ripe apples.

The only thing I would have experimented with perhaps would have been a little bit of fill flash to even out the shadows a bit, and sliding the crop over a couple of millimiters to lose that tiny shadow on the left.

Otherwise, great contrast.

I like the fruit in this photo and how they look so ripe. Good focus and coloring

I would have scored high if the colors were more vivid

I love the color of the sky, the leaves and the apples. However, the photo seems a tad oversharpened. I don't mind the far left apple being cropped by the frame, but the shadow on it is distracting.

Hmmm tasty, they look juicy ripe and delicious.
