The sudden context shift here draws the eye and gets a smile from me. I wish that the entire castle was sharply in focus (the eye being drawn solely by color), or that the scene was set so that the apple was at a golden point, rather than in the far corner, and the depth of field set much *narrower*, so that the castle was more heavily blurred.

What I like-I like the red. The color is good and I like the focus.
I don't like the composition and angle this is shot from I'm sure you were trying to include the castle and to make it look small from this view. I think in the end we are seeing far too much of the castle, most of it too dark.
