Hey there from the Critique Club
This is one of the most creative captures of the challenge. You did a very nice job presenting the appearance that the apples are indeed joined. I know that you've heard some of it already, but I going to echo your past comments a bit. The black dish is horribly distracting. With it simply sitting there, it probably took away a full point for most of the voters, maybe even more. Perhaps it was a shot at your last Complementary Colors challenge, including the black dish on the white background. It also looks like your camera chose the dish for the main point of focus for the image, thus leaving the apple just a touch out of focus. With the aperture set at 2.8, your depth of field is left very shallow. Judging from that and the 1/50 sec shutter speed, I assume that you were trying to compensate for low light. May try it again outside, or in a brighter room. I like the wide, rectangular composition that you created, and the colors complement each other nicely. I would have liked it a bit better if the green skin had gone up to the stem, but that wouldn't cost you any points in my voting. I think you had an excellent idea that didn't reach its full potential. The creativity is well above average, but the execution falls a bit below. As is, I'd rank it in the 3-4 range. Removing the dish and improving the focus would easily put in in the 6-7 range, in my opinion. |

| I like the creativity! I am not sure what the black thing is, but IMO it takes away from the photo. |

| What is the black part at the bottom and why all the empty white space? |

| What a good idea - but what is the black thing? I wish you'd just kept the two tone apple as your subject. |

| Clever idea, but could be a little sharper. Not sure what the grey thing is, but it draws the eye away from the point of the composition. |

| Nice idea, but I feel the composition is a bit unbalanced, and the focus seems off. |

| I like the idea with the apples, but it took me quite some time to understand that this blue thing is probably simply a plate. |

| 2 - Not sure what you've done here but don't think the 'vision' has been achieved. No idea what the black thing is, but detracts, in my opinion. |

| unsharp, overprocessed, uninspured composition (too much white/grey space) and crop (panorama? what for?). and what's that stuff behind the apple? |

| A very cool idea and the seam on the apple is very good. I really find the black object to be very distracting ... it was the first thing I noticed in the photo and my eye keeps being drawn to it. |

| Good idea! Could be sharper, and I feel the plate is a little distracting to me. Either see most or all of the plate, or leave it out. I definately feel like I want to see more of the apple. |
