I did not change the backround becuse i wanted to show where can an apple escape :) Trully i don't like "over-organized" photos, i like photos which show the "thruth" with a great idea and with little "modification of reality" :)
A very intriguing image, I like the light, the setting the dilemma...I think I would have liked to have seen a different crop? Less of that blurry bottom edge...maybe just a simple pan upwards? I keep wanting to see more of the room the spotlit apple is in...still a really cool picture, nicely done.
nice idea but I think you've got too much in focus to distract the viewers eye. This apple on a table maybe with a plain background and lighting like you have it would have been a real contender. Good luck.
