haha what reactions....

Interesting shot. It makes me wonder how long it took to peel apples that way. Some will call my next comment inappropriate, but I'm still going to say it because the picture provoked the reaction in me: Her pubic hair reminds me of a brillo pad.

i would shoot the woman alone in color then desaturate all but the apple skins
03/29/2005 12:34:00 PM
I would completely rethink the composition of the photo. The guy overlookin the girl is creepy. shoot without guy in shot or include womans face and change pose

I would like to thank all who gave me good feedback on this, my 1st entry on the DPchallenge site.

And to those who just write annoying comments.... poo on U! :o) Go annoy other people or give comments that reflect the quality of this site.

The following is not meant in a lustful manner, but the apple peeling is distracting. Without it the nicely lit body could stand on it's own (as a subject). And this apple=sin theme also isn't very creative anymore ;-) -stephan

It feels too dark to me, even if that was what you were going for.
10/20/2002 12:19:00 PM
Just how naked are we going to go on this site? You managedf to show nudity, but the man's face looks amused, not lustful.
10/19/2002 02:33:00 PM
what can I say! superb texture and exposure but maybe getting too close to knuckle for some?9

Daring... very daring! Very nice, sharp details here.
10/18/2002 01:53:00 PM
creatively, I think its in poor taste. I expected to see some edgy shots this challenge, but I still think it can be done without the shock value. JMHO bamaster (5)

Copy Cat!! (referring to the "Forbidden Fruit" entry in the Fruits and Vegetables challenge). The apple skins is what saves this photo from being pornography (yes - I'm a bit shocked to see this on this site). The idea is a good one though. Composition is good, and B&W is a nice choice. 6, mcrael

Good picture!
10/17/2002 02:54:00 PM
Nice shot. The apple skins were a graet touch, without them this image would have been less interesting.
10/17/2002 12:43:00 PM
I like the lightning, but I´m not so sure about the the thing on her stomach. Anyhow, I get your point and that´s what counts. Good composition and perfect in black and white. High score from me. /Carsten

Was this apple pink in the middle? I like this shot and I see it being a continuation of another shot that happened to win a few weeks ago...am I close with that one? Nice job 9-Inspzil (I originally had you down for 8)

dude. i bet this got mad dq's.
10/16/2002 08:24:00 PM
don't understand it, but damn, its a good photo.
10/16/2002 06:00:00 PM
Wow, just the preparation for this shot is impressive. I like that the man is involved in the photo but is deep in shadow and not distracting from the apple peel. Pretty gutsy for this site but you pulled it off.

This is the best of the week! Erotic but very tastefully done! Perfect 10!
10/16/2002 11:54:00 AM
can u tell me the recipe or tool u used for that Id like to try it.
PS the black & white ruined the beauty of the apple skin against her hot bod. Kinda like charcoal after a fire. IE. no fire 5 Mags Coyote

It looks more like a phone cord to me, the part that plugs into the wall. And most unfortunately seems to be a take on a previous winning photo. OH MY GOD, is that bush I see, and it's not the president! Expect a lot of ones from the self-righteous hypocrites who are quick to judge with their learned emotions. This is not photography, this is porno and you should never try to express anything controversial, insulting, or contrary to the beliefs of others. GOOD GOD man, what were you thinking!!! OK, I give you a 9 for a nice composition, good lighting, a very lustful expression, and stepping out on a limb... a nice thought-provoking shot.

The photo technique is great..good black and white composition
10/15/2002 07:08:00 PM
Pure porno. I've suggested you be disqualified.
10/15/2002 07:02:00 PM
I like the choice of b/w for this, definitly meets challenge! 7

Nice use of the negative space in the upper right. I'm not sure what the wire is all about and I'm not sure it helps the shot for me, but I can appreciate that it might work for someone. Nicely done :)
10/15/2002 03:37:00 AM
Good work with the lighting and composition here :) I don't really undserstand the relationship of the apple skin to the rest of the photo... I personally think this photo would be much stronger without that element possibly... = 8 - setzler

What's with the fruit and apples? ;-) Very interesting concept. Great lighting. The black and white really add to the look 7/10
10/14/2002 11:12:00 PM
I don't know quite how to take this. It's darn near close to pron, but not quite. At first I thought the man's lip was a....ummm....tongue. It is definately not something that I would want my kids to come upon.
10/14/2002 10:48:00 PM
It appears that you were going for a strong reaction from the viewer, which would be a given with this particular shot. I would guess that you don't really care what kind of reaction, just as long as you get one. I, also, think this photo doesn't belong on this site where there are children and teenagers participating.
10/14/2002 10:47:00 PM
she needs a shave! but nice idea
10/14/2002 10:35:00 PM
very seductive and lusty - a bit to risque for this site - but i still like it ..

great lighting.
10/14/2002 10:17:00 PM
Pervert.
10/14/2002 07:32:00 PM
Funyn and well done. Might have been more interesting without the guy's face. Good lighting. 8

I am not sure what the apple skin is supposed to represent. You were very daring to include such a lower section on her body. In this case I think it takes away from the overall shot. I really enjoy it, but I think the cropping was a little too daring for DPC. 9!
10/14/2002 05:28:00 PM
Your beard is way too distracting :) 6
10/14/2002 03:16:00 PM
Ah! Forbidden fruit! Great idea, nice photo.
10/14/2002 12:40:00 PM
This i a good photograph as far as composition and creativity. I'm a little conserned this could be considered nude because of the visual pubic hair. However, the only thing I fault with this is the light does not highlight the face and the subject enough. I score it an 9. good luck. smshats (went back and had to up this to a 9)

Certainly ties to the theme. I like the composition and treatment of the body. Contrast of lights and darks is quite good.
10/14/2002 09:21:00 AM
clever take on original sin.... defintely top 3
10/14/2002 04:49:00 AM
This is different and ----then some. I think your lighting could of been better. Also, someone _JS_ did the apple. I don't dislike this shot. Good luck. Justine

Nicely done. A little dark though. Was it your intent? 7
10/14/2002 02:31:00 AM
very good photo! 8.
10/14/2002 02:19:00 AM
Disturbing, i thought it was tied together as ropes, awesome photo :) Maybe a duotone B&W would be even more effective, but great photo nevertheless 10 paganini
10/14/2002 02:15:00 AM
A little too daring for this public of a site considering that kids regularly participate, but I don't penalize pics for that. Lighting is a tad dark, but it's still a nice shot. ~indigo997
