Built mself an arrow. Heated up some jam & used this as blood.
Forgot this was a basic challenge where I couldn't post process much & didn't take as much care as I should havve, thus the water droplets on the arrow & under the apple.

Very mixed feelings on this one. A very good image with great technique, great composition and great color but what a subject. It is like a deception, I reach for the apple and bang...wacko food. lol Bumping up to 6
At first I found the image stagnant but got excited when I noticed the water droplets on the apple and arrow. When I see more after taking a second look at a picture, I feel rewarded somehow. The white background makes the subject stand out but removes in my eye the artistry of color and motion that could have enhanced such a great story telling theme shot. Thanks a lot.
I can't tell if your arrow is food as well. This is very well done, but the first thing I thought was it would have been even better if the arrow had been constructed of celery or something similar. Good job.
