Greetings from the Critique Club :)
Composition
Very nice positioning of the apples. The image is begging for more negative space, I believe. The black space on the left is less than on the right. If you gave the apples some room to breathe I think the image would be stronger.
Focus
Great focus and sharpness on the water droplets. The water drops really make this image since the surface of the apples alone are not very intersting.
Great color.
What would I improve upon? The image does very well until it gets down to the middle of the green apple. There is some darkness on the front of the green apple, and more so in the reflection that I do not understand. Not a shadow since it appears you used two lights.
The reflection has less focus, as it should, but it detracts a bit from the overall image. The apples in the reflection are as big as the main subjects but lack the crisp focus and nice water drops. So the reflections do compete a bit.
Two things that might make this stronger:
- leave more negative space
- shoot from a higher angle so that the reflected apples are not as big and allow the main objects to anchor the image more.
But, otherwise a very nice concept, good execution and good post processing.
Please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

| somehow, the simpleness of this subject is nice. would one light suffice in showing another side of these apples? |

| Great idea! (and thank goodness for not another Christmas themed red and green photo) Very "reflecty" (which is good...) and I like the water droplets. These apples look delectable! Ill give it an 8! |

| For some reason it does not look as sharp or as saturated on my notebook screen. |
