Very creative sculpting job, and I like the psychological contrast of the two sides.

Nice lighting. How did you get that skull? Looks great. They should have used that for Snowwhite! The black outer border should be solid. 9.

Is this the one the spoiled the whole bunch? Very nice image. Great idea! Nicely exposed. I'm bothered a little by the visible thread suspending the apple, but I do like the way you wet the apple to give it more texture, and more brilliance and interest. Very nicely done. <7>
