Such a nice cluster of the beautiful apples. Makes my mouth water just seeing them, fresh on the tree. Well balanced and nicely framed subject. Good depth background to focus on the subject. Good initial impact to viewer. Focus and lighting is very pleasant. Creative and inviting image.

Beautiful and juicy apples, with the freshness of the rain. Love the composition, the texture and the color, like excellent DOF and good lighting. The focus is pin sharp. Well done. Luck.

Comment from avmurray
These apples look really delicious with the slight red in them, and the drops of water makes them look so fresh. With the nicely blurred background they are all standing out in a lovely way.

I suppose this is one of these contests where no editing is allowed, but if it has not been so, I would have suggested adding a tad more contrast. Still it is a nice and sharp photo with clear and well defined details, and the exposure is fine.

I think the bundle of apples are sitting a bit too much centered, but this is still an all together well taken photo, and with a good DOF. I wish you luck with the contest.

Looks so good, I am ready to pick on for a quick snack. Lighting, DOF, clarity, and sharpness all performed with a high level of skill. Attention to detail and subject matter display well thought out.

Hey, thank you for giving this a five. This is unedited, wish you're closer to us, and I can invite you to climb the apple tree with me and maybe have some swimming and grilling. God bless.

reply by Helucas4 on 27-Jul-2014

Yes that would be wonderful!

Comment from Photo4all
I am wanting an apple right now!!

It is a gorgeous picture of just right ripened apples. The framing is nice and the background is blurred emphasizing the apples.

Focus is clear! Great job!

Comment from michiganmike
An excellent shot that does not overpower with outrageous colors or fancy technique. Just a well framed subject shown in fine detail and beautiful color. Just the way nature intended.
