I felt the need to ad some suspence to the harmlessness the average apple portraits. Along with a title that goes at least two ways creating an almost feelable tension. In this case the apple symbolizes a victim.

the sharpening is obvious on the apple, the lighting is poor.

Image is out of focus, seems slightly posterized, and has dark shadows that drop off too severely into black. The reflected highlight on the knife is also very harsh, and seems blown. The colors on the blade are somewhat pretty, but the colors on the handle are very odd, and the green at the left looks like fungus. Try a different angle to avoid the reflection, which is causing the extreme dynamic range hurting this image in both directions. If the title had been about the reflected light, drawing the interest to the colors, the image might have been more interesting, but as it is, it isn't really memorable, and the light just looks like an artifact of the reflection error. An apple and a knife on a counter alone isn't a very interesting image.

way too much noise and compression shades.

Neat idea, meet your maker style. There is to much glare in the photo, it has to effects. First, you can see complete square pixel boxes where the apple surface becomes black. Second, it is causing some-kind of funny overload in the image wreaking havoc on the colours and lines. 5
