Pretty good looking apple. I like how the light green stands out on the dark green. I wish that the white branch wasn't in the background, but it doesn't take away from the photo. The clarity and focus are very good. The angle and framing are good. I wonder what kind of impact this would have if the apple were off set from the center of the photo? Overall great job. Good luck in the challenge. ~HBunch7187~
You did an excellent job of capturing your subject in this photo.. the clarity and depth of field are very nice :) Personally, I would have composed this apple a little more off center (rule of thirds composition) to provide some more visual impact... good shot :) - jmsetzler
In terms of the shot in general, I can't say there's any real flaw. But, perhaps the composition could be improved. I think cropping the shot so the apple isn't quite so central would help. More importantly, the branch in the background that is invading the apple's subject area is a big distraction. (5) Good luck, sorry to be so negative.
