Nice dof, and cute title. I like this the quaility is very good, just no punch or..it doesn't grab me. I think the b&w is good with pleasent tones, and good light. Just my 2cents, no offence.
I think you did this on purpose, but I didn't like the out of focus slice. I might have preferrred it had the slice been in focus and not the apple, if you really wanted to have a tiny DOF. If you had used a bit more contrast that might have helped as well.
