I think you have captured an excellent sunset with this shot and it is framed well. The subject within the the frame is great this boat with the birds on it add a lot of character and give the image a nice nautical feel to it.
I hope you do well with this shot as it deserves to score well.

Greetings from the Critque Club!!!

Initial impact: Now that's a neat idea for an apple.

Color: The colors on the brighter part of the image are very nice. The color is also on the toothpicks. I feel that I might have gone a little more to the side of excess with the title and concept you were going for.

Focus: Very crisp image with a good Depth of Feild(DOF). I could not ask for more is this area.

Lighting: Well her I must admit is probably the rougherst part of the photo. You would wan't a black background behind a super Nova so if you used to much back lighting you were goind to lose the infinate darkness in the background. To little back lighting and your nova fades into the backround. I feel in this case you went a bit to dark on the apple. I think this would have worked better for you if the lighting had come from three directions. Front, rear top, and rear bottom, Thsi would have given the apple a more defined border and some richer colors. Unfortunately you would ahve had to use a rather large black bacround to avoid washing out you blacks.

Concept: Very very cool idea. I like this one it shows greative tyinking and courage to experiment and play.

Overall: Very nice photo I had given this one a six while voting. I honestly feel that with better lighting this could have bean a very strong contender for a ribbon. Excellent shot. I hope this is just the first of many to come.

This is a very good landscape shot Keegan. I like the way you have caught the seagulls in the foreground and the saturated colour has given the picture a great lift, the horizon needs to be a bit more level.

I like the nearly suspended look of the apple. The light on the toothpicks is interesting, especially on the bottom. Doesn't look like it is sticking in the apple at all.

with that title I expected some brilliant light coming from behind it not the very dark image I see. Good idea and setup but see if some brightness adjustment could help.
