I used an apple corer/slicer to twist half of the apple apart. To get it out of the corer, I had to break the twisted part off, and I actually nailed it back onto the apple after I removed the circular core.
I sprayed the apple and the twist with lemon juice to slow the browning process.
I used another larger nail to stab the bottom of the apple, and dangle it upside-down where I photographed it with a dark background.
Then I flipped the photo over and made some color adjustments, and viola!

Thank you for sharing with us how you did that. I was really curious and I never thought that it was upside down, duh. You put a lot of work and thought into this. I'll be looking out for your stuff in the future. Congrats on the good score!
I just came across the kitchen gadget which makes those -- very nice. I'm wondering if you could find tiny enough toy cars to put a couple on there and call it "parking lot exit ramp"
Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - quite good, right side a tad dark Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality – quite high Other suggestions – did you try a little less crop on the sides? 7 Jim msp
Good and artistic composition. I like the texture created by the light and shadow areas, but feel that the light could have been better diffused to avoid the harsh reflection. I also think that the cropping is just a bit too tight (minor nitpicks). Overall a very nice image.
A little less space at the top would have, in my opinion, been better. Also, perhaps too much glare / reflection near the middle of the photo. But a good photo with excellent creativity - well done!
One of my favorites this week. I like the muted green below, and the whimsical spiral up top, along with its tonal range of greens, oranges, and yellows. Beautifully lit, very playful photo.
Composition: Subject Placement, Cropping, Background9, Technical: Focus, Exposure, Lighting, Processing10, Appeal: Is it Interesting, Motivating, Etc.? 9, Total Averaged Rating9. Autool Have you tried cropping a little less on the sides to balance out the frame of the subject? I think it would have made an admirable improvement.
I like the composition and idea behind this image. The focus is a tad soft in places and the crop is a wee bit tight there, but it's a good effort and developed further, could be a very outstanding image. I'd like to see a black or white background. I think the blue is not as effective as black or (high key) white would be.
excellent shot... i think i can live with the tight framing on this one too :) The glare on the apple is slightly harsh, but overall, this is a great shot :) = 9 - jmsetzler
this is cool. did you use one of those fruit spiraling thingys that used to come with Ginsu knives? (if you dont know what that is its because, a: i'm too old... and/or, b: you're too young!) how did you hold that peel up there? (8) ~mcmurma
