I gave this a 10, I assumed it would also be in the top 10. Looks like I jinxed another photo.

best black and white photo ive seen so far

I love macro shots of vegetation and I LOVE greyscale! The 'horizon' is perfect, the lighting is great, and the fact that the tip of the stem is *almost* part of the focal field is truly commendable.

Lovely close up. Black and white allows me to focus on tone and shape and light and shadow. Nicely composed too. 8

So far the best apple photo I have seen here. A simple and a clear pic with courageous and succesful cropping. Good luck!

it would have been nice to see it in color. But it's well done nevertheless.

good control of exposure, like the contrast in this one
 05/18/2005 06:24:20 AM
For me, it would have been better if the whole stalk was in focus.

Nice use of B/W to emphasize the apple's texture.
