The mission was to photograph an apple. This is a photo of a man... that happens to have an apple. If I'm somebodies boss and send that person out with the orders "bring me a photo of an apple" and this is what he brings back... I fire that guy.
The "mission" was to "Creatively photograph an apple any way you see fit." If you set an apple on the table and brought me a picture of it, I would fire you. Besides this is not an assignment or a job...and you're not my boss.

This dude needs to lighten up. Don't ya think?
I like it. The apple shares the stage with equal gusto to the person, the hat and even the ponytail.

But by itself it's a nice photo. Just not in this context.
