Great rustic looking background, lighting is pretty subdued. Composition is great, the peel keeps my eye in the picture.

Clever idea! A little dark unfortunately. Background on top is distracting since I can't make out what it is, yet it occupies about 25% of the image. You don't need it so you could crop it. I like the surface the apple is on. Good luck in the callenge. Gracious aka Grayce

This photo really appeals to me. The composition, the subdued lighting, the textures of the background and the apple. I'm giving it 10 - lisae

Neat idea and picture but my monitor shows a lot of loss of detail in the lower right were the shadows are dence and a black blob across the top. Can't hardly wait for square formats.

Well arranged composition. The weathered backdrop and roughly peeled apple work well together. I would personally like to see the quarter-tones lightened a bit so the apple might round out a little more. Nice picture. --JPerez

It's underexposed, and the background is distracting.

This is a superb idea, but there are a few things wrong with the shot. There are two main problems. Firstly, the lighting is very low. While this might be intentional - judging by the title - it doesn't actually work. Primarily, this is because of the background. It's difficult to determine where the subject ends and the background starts. This could be improved by choosing a much brighter (or darker) neutral backdrop. The various scratches, dents and dark shadows distract from the already hard to see central subject. Try using a plain backdrop for the shot to remove the distractions. Next, try lighting the subject with a bounced or heavily diffused flash. White paper held at angle in front of flash unit works quite well – but be careful of your ceiling colour, if it isn't white, you'll get a colour cast. This is only my opinion and I hope I haven't caused offence… Good luck… Keep shooting…

This show quite a bit of creativity on the part of the photographer, but it's too dark and could be a bit sharper. I like the composition, though.

A little dark... even if the apple is "undressing". Some of the details are lost.

all in all the photo looks a little dark for me, and i'm wondering why you chose the background that you did. it distracts me a little from the apple. interesting title. -- gr8photos.

Unattractive background distracts, as does the darker spots on the apple.

Your choice of background and light was quite unfortunate. I would have tried a bathroom, or a dressing room.

Cute idea, was the darkness representing the desire for privacy, or something like that? (If not, it's too dark!) Naked apple! Would this be a PG shot or R?

The concept on this photo is interesting... The composition is also nice, but the weak lighting is causing me to struggle just a bit. - jmsetzler

Needs a touch more light, I think, but overall a pretty good picture. karmat

Good concept...I think the background could've been a little better
