great idea i like this image alot because of the different colors of apples and the shininess of the apples, it really brings a nice feeling to the picture
I like that, but I think you really did NOT need the numbers on the apples, you probably would've won a ribbon if not for that .. I gave it a 7 nonetheless
Haha good one! Creative and that's what I like!!! The off center look is ok, but too bad that these apples on the right create a curve not a straight line :( Damn such a detail but it drives me mad :) I don't like the tripple shadows. If I may propose something - I would give a less direct lighting to avoid sharp shadows or If you wanted to have sharp shadows then maybe you should do it so that there is only one? Don't know it's just a suggestion. Anyway creativity comes first. You can always learn technical aspect and you can improve you technics but creativity is something that doesn't come by learning :) It's a 7 for the idea. But I feel that a 6 would be better :) Well I give you a chance hehe.
Every challenge seems to get the subject of pool in it. Why should this one be any different. This is nicly done. Lighted well, with some very nice focusing on the entire bushel, if you will. I like the different types of apples in this image. <6>
