*Critique Club*

In response to your request for an in depth critique, due to the lack of photogrpaher's comments, I can only offer my critique based on my own personal opinion alone, since I do not know what your personal intentions were for this photograph.
I really like this. At first, I wanted to say 'I wish the one green leafy thing wasn't ON the apple, but then I tried to picture it without the green leafy thing and it seemed a little boring, so I'm thinking that maybe you made a good choice by leaving it in.
The one distraction that I do see is the dark leaf in the forground. It doesn't seem to fit with the bright colors of the rest of the photo and kind of draws attention to itself.
The focus on the apples is nice in my opinion, and also the DOF really makes this photo. Very nice for the challenge.
The color and lighting really make me want to look at this for a long time. So why did it finish in the lower 1/2 of the entries? Cause it doesn't jump out and slap you in the face. There was a lot of strong competition in this challenge, and it seems like the more outrageous shots took the top. I really do like this though. It's a very relaxing image.

6 - Nice, especially the colors. Criticism; like to see 'a' focal point sharper/crisper, be it the stalk (that looks like parsley), or the apple(?), but just something there defined a little better, likely make this even better in my opinion. Maybe a little more height too, not sure as I do like the horizontal composition. Very good 'DOF''s.
