Nice picture. Some over sharpening or jpg artifacts around the apple (the white halo) .... do not know the name, 'tail'. But otherwise I like the simplicity of the picture. lionel
A very good close-up of a granny smith apple. A simple and clean minimalistic approach. Detail and lighting are very good. My critique is that the colors could do with a tad saturation boost. The green and blue tones appear a little flat and dull. Upping the saturation a tad should make the green of the apple really pop visually with the blue background.
Simple but strong. I like your choice of background colour and your composition. Not sure that the stem isn't a touch too dark (though I think it has to be reasonably dark to provide a focal point)?
