My quickest entry ever because of time constraints ... I'm in the middle of a house renovation. Shine the apples, whipe the mirror, place the apples on the mirror on my deck, take the picture, sharpen a little. Voila. Back to painting my bedroom.

I like reflective shots... However, the shot seems to make the subject apear to be floating. Maybe adding one loan apple to the right of the composition would even it out a little.
This is one of my favorites from this challenge. I might have played around with the lighting a bit to see if the hard flash would look more natural defused. - Great shot.
excellent image :) the mirror was a great idea... composition here is exceptional also.. my only critique would be to give that top apple just a tad more breathing room at the edge of the frame... = 9 - jmsetzler
what a great idea! i don't like the placement of the apples though--they seem just a little cramped at the top of the frame. still, it is a lovely shot. (9) ~mcmurma
Very creative! I'm betting this is going to be at least in the top 10, probably top 5. Well executed, great colors... what more could you ask!? I don't give many 10s, but yours is one of them.
I would have liked to see a little more light from the right. Not enough to lose the dark shadow side, but enough to lighten it a little and give a hint of color there. I love the idea and I give it a 10 anyway!!
Great idea, but be careful with the light and shadows. Also watch the sharpening filter you applied (look at the halos created on the edges of the apples). I would have liked another light source from the right. I think your idea is great, and the use of the mirror and sky is terrific.
