Aside from the flat light (already mentioned by others), & the plywood BG not covering all the BG in the upper R corner, & the necessity of explaining the relationship of the gun to the apple--a gun is a difficult subject to capture well. There are a lot of details to deal with, it is difficult to light, & difficult to pose so that it doesn't look like a product in a catalog. The most successful gun photos seem to be where the gun is aimed into the lens right at the viewer but this creates an emotional impact that makes it difficult to concentrate on voting. You got mostly 4 & 5 scores, not too bad for a first entry. Keep 'em comin'!
Sorry. This doesn't work for me at all for a still life with fruit. Maybe (a big maybe) if I couldn't see the edge of the plywood and if the tonal range was better (basic levels adjustment) I'd give this a 4 instead of a 2.
