straight from the kitchen table; natural lighting and straight shot. only resized. purpose-- learning and working with simple still life and studying compositional elements on the kitchen table. oh-apple is split into halves, but as I didn't have another apple this size, I used it because of the contours were pleasing to eyes as well as the blend of colors.

I think the idea is good here, the reflection in the glass of wine is intriguing. I am not sure what the apple has to do with the wine, and the picture doesn't make it clear. I think, for the image to work better, it would be best to not have such a busy background (both the tablecloth and the courtain), it's too much to absorb, and it really takes away from the best part of the image, which is the reflection in the glass of wine. ~6

Good idea, but the lighting is very subject unfriendly. The curtain in the back is too bright almost making it the subject. If you had put it on a continuous sheet of white paper and lit it from the lower left, the shadows could have created your diagonals, and the subject would have been lit. This can all be done with the window lighting. You don't need artificial.

It is too busy for me, I think the background and table cloth distract from the subject. Speaking of the subject, there is just not enough definition to it.

lacks of contrast, lighting is flat, different decors take away form the main subjects. try single colored cloth next time

Where's diagonal?

While there are some lines in the placemat that go diagonally, the main lines in the composition (glass, curtains) are all strongly vertical. Also, all of the light comes from the back, and it looks like the apple is sitting in the dark.

Background way too busy; lighting too dim on the apple; no really strong diagonals. Sorry.

I am not sure this is a diagonal composition
