It looks as if the fruit is touching the ground. Good angle.

Hey really interesting point of view. However I would have preferred if you composed the shot to the right more putting the main subject further left of the center. It would give more space for the fruits in the background.

Nice DOF there mate. Agree with Ryan having the subject in the left would work really well with this shot.

It's a nice shot. The raindrop sets it off and great DoF. I echo the above regarding framing, As the background apples 'pattern' would be less linear.

@Duncan Galbraith: Thank you for your comments. I agree with you guys about the balance.

Wonderful shot. This is the proverbial low-hanging, forbidden fruit. I really want to take a bite.

Love the shot...the droplet really makes it for me.

I agree with Ryan, I think perhaps a little more light would be able to emphasis the water drop which I think would have effectively "rounded" it up.

That is a cool shot. I agree with the comments above about the balance of the image but I still really like it. I feel that the apples in the background add quite a bit to the image for some reason...and the water droplet is rad!

Really nice image. Yeh, it's flawed, but so what? So is life, and maybe that's why I like it.
