I am not sure of the technical execution for this...there's a spot on the apple (upper middle) that is distracting given the black outline and the splash is so uniform...enlighten me if you like.
One of many variations on an overdone theme for this challenge (sorry, that sounds mean!)
Unfortunatly, this isn't the best one either. The light seems a little harsh in places and very flat as you move to the edges of the frame. There also seems to be a lot of noise in the apple.
Good attempt all the same (4) (I would give 4.5 if I could)
Great action shot with the water splashing around the outer surface of the apple as it plunges into the pool. I know it must have been very difficult to capture this shot but I wonder if there was one with a more dynamic and larger splash. The reason why I wonder is because this capture appears as if it just hit the surface of the water. The splash radiates out but does not radiate out and up. The splash factor can increase the WoW factor and I think it just needs a little more visible force of impact upon the water. Next the blue hue is almost overpowering to the eye. While that just may be the surface of the pool there is one way to tone down the overpowering color such that it does not overshadow your main subject. A closer crop - a square crop would have done rather nicely by cutting down on the amount of blue space and bringing more attention focused on the apple & the splash.
I like it...but it looks a little overprocessed and oversharpened...on it's own it's good, but next so so many splash images in this challenge, it's just OK...sorry :-( 6
