 How I wish this was under advanced to get some textures flowing, having said that, I feel this is a good shot that fits the challenge very well and is a follow up shot to my other still life 'Still Life with Peaches'. I do not think this is as good but for what I had to work with it is rather nice IMO, I just hope the voters feel the same way.

Cropped with some contrast tweeks and curves, slightly de-saturated the whole image then pumped the reds back up after a resize.


Est score - 6.3
dream score 6.8

My thanks must go out to my great friend and talented still life artist Alan Hunnisett for providing the apples.

Nice composition and beautifully lit. The only small criticism I have is that the scene appears to be sloping from left to right.
