I'm still learning about lighting and ended up taking over 100 photos before I decided to switch from a black background to a white background. I then took another 40 shots before getting just the right amount of liquid coming through the tap and the glass mostly level.

There's just the slightest hint of a shadow on either side of the apple, cast, I'm guessing, by the spigot handle? I'd like to see just a bit more of the fingernail on the bottom finger. Good shot.
I think if this was the first time I was seeing this image it would have had a more powerful impact on me. However, because a similar image can be seen here , and I actually find the original a much better photo, this is kind of a turn off. I'm all for copying an idea and putting your own spin on it, but if you do that then you have to make it better IMO. I liked the leaf in the first one, I preferred that the image was centered, the colored background gave it a more "outdoorsy" feel, and with this picture there is a small shadow to the left that I find distracting. I do think it's a good attempt and it's interesting to see an apple instead of an orange, and with a little more effort I think you would have pulled it off, but overall it looses some points for me because it didn't meet the expectations of the previous image.
Clever. Have seen some similar to this concept. You've done "ok" with this presentation. The lighting doesn't seem quite right. A little harsh. Did you try a polarizer to control the reflections some? Just a thought. All JMO of course. :-) Good luck in the challenge.
A very well executed brilliant idea. even though i like this one a lot, it would have been very impressive, if you had shot this with a side view :) one of my favorites in the challenge nonetheless.
