This was shot in my dining room near a window and I thought about perhaps just letting nature do the work with the lighting but that meant waking up at sunrise and that wasn't about to happen. :) So artifical light it is. Shot for the MS Tourney and will probably bomb. Predicted score: 5.70 which means I can probably kiss that dream of a 6.0 average goodbye.

The duotone coloring is rich but doesn't show off the lighting choice. I like the intense crispness of the image but the foreground red apple appears a bit oversharpened on the left side. 6
This has appealing texture and great clarity - the composition could be more exciting and the duotone effect i would prefer with just a bit less color (more greyscale). 7
Technically very nice, and I definitely like it, but I find the duotone a little over-done. Perhaps taking some of the "ink" out of the highlights will provide a more balanced tonal sense.
Very smooth and sharp. Almost plasticy looking, but I like it! Very nice tone among the apples, and great lighting. Excellent! After a quick look over the rest, my opinion is top 10.
