A bit of a stretch for the challenge. The pic is good. The kid is cute but not much 'Apple' here, sorry. 5

Beautiful portrait and I would have made the connection even without the title. Once outside of the constraints of basic editing, consider cloning out the metal snap in the corner.

Very courageous. I'll bump this for creativity, but as a stand-alone portrait, I think it misses the mark a little bit.

I'm thinking you're getting a lot of DNMC votes... *sigh*

"Creatively photograph an apple any way you see fit." I dont' see the apple. Cute kid though... and I like the crop.
