Great action shot with the water splashing around the outer surface of the apple as it plunges into the pool. I know it must have been very difficult to capture this shot but I wonder if there was one with a more dynamic and larger splash. The reason why I wonder is because this capture appears as if it just hit the surface of the water. The splash radiates out but does not radiate out and up. The splash factor can increase the WoW factor and I think it just needs a little more visible force of impact upon the water. Next the blue hue is almost overpowering to the eye. While that just may be the surface of the pool there is one way to tone down the overpowering color such that it does not overshadow your main subject. A closer crop - a square crop would have done rather nicely by cutting down on the amount of blue space and bringing more attention focused on the apple & the splash.

I like it...but it looks a little overprocessed and oversharpened...on it's own it's good, but next so so many splash images in this challenge, it's just OK...sorry :-( 6

niecly done although I dont think the sepia tone helps any and is just distracting.

I love the dramatic lighting here! Again, levyj413 hit the points I would mention. The strings are a bit too dark... I don't know if a slight adjustment of the lighting would help or not. If not, brighten them up in editing. This is a great use of lighting though!

levyj413 hit a lot of the small nitpicks that I saw too. They add up and become distracting to what is an interesting idea. The colors on the guitar at the bottom get the halo effect which seems very unnatural, and I think that is the biggest distraction to me. Also, I think I would have given a bit more space when cropping the top of the shot. Fix up those things that levy mentioned and repost! :)
