Ack - I had so many other options to enter in this challenge & I don't know what possessed me to go with this one. This is what it originally looked like:
But I had to make it fit within the rules of the challenge & I worried about the border, etc. so I messed with it. Just a little editing, but enough to really change it a lot. Unfortunately, this image really only 'works' as it is in the original edit & really should've been left out if it couldn't be true to itself. Sell-out image! Haha... Well, this is one example of why I would vote for Expert Editing rulesets...
Here are some alts I had come up with:

great composition, working title, not a fan of the lighting though...overall image is too contrasty, whereas an invitation should be inviting...crop might be too tight below the apple. superior image though
A little 'in your face' for me (I prefer more subtlety with nude photos, both with lighting and presentation). Good concept, though, and I like how you've retained the color and texture of the apple.
