*Hello from Sid and the critique club*
An appealing image that meets the challenge.
Your composition is very good, I like the way you have gone in close with good DOF on the apple and the hand together with the soft focus background of the abundant apple crop. It tells us that the apple is ripe and ready for picking which identifies it with the Northern hemisphere's season. The empty patch of blue sky is a little dominating and would probably benefit from some cropping. The exposure is good and the colours and detail look good too.
All in all, a very good submission Marcel, its a shame it didn't get any comments during the challenge, I hope this makes up for it, Sid |
