Nice idea, but the creased background is distracting.

Not sure about the title, but I like the picture. I think I'd call it "A Study in Red and Blue on Wood"

nice image, IMO if the backdrop was flatter (i dont mean ironed flad but the large curved removed) and more out of focus it would have made the subject stronger.

IMHO A narrower DOF would improve this even further.

I want to reach out and wipe off the table. I guess that's a good thing. This is a very painterly composition. Nice. I only wish the back edge of the table was sharper.

Great lighting. I think what hurts it is the wrinkled backdrop and the wood texture of the table. I like the reflection in the bottle. At least you "got it." Many did not.

This meets the challenge – it’s inanimate and arranged. The composition and the simplicity are good. An even wider aperture for shallower depth of field, if it were possible, might have improved the picture, as the background disracts a little. It's a strong six and I'm marking a hesitant 7

I like the colors. I don't know if you meant to leave the apple like it is in the picture, but I would have polished it to give it more effect.

A little less dof to blur your background more would have made your subject stand out better. I like the contrasts in colour and shape.

I think this would have popped more for me if the light wasn't as intense and the black backdrop showed up as pure black. Nice shot though.

Would have preferred the backdrop out of focus so the wrinkles are not visible.

Background is only real problem for me. I'd have tried to throw it more out of focus or something to get rid of the ugly wrinkles.

I like the set up but the wrinkles in the back are distracting & unattractive. Bigger aperture might have eased that. Colors are very nice too.
