Good photography, the lighting really does a good job of emphasising the sibject and creating mood.

Reflection on the apple itself is harsh (try a polarizer? that looks like daylight reflection, not flash), and the face seems slightly soft (try one stop smaller aperture), but the expression and story make up for it. Background is interesting without being distracting.

Beautiful portrait. I loved the fruit background. This was a photo worth printing in a travel mag.

MMMm a red -ish apple :) It's so red and so saturated ( oversaturated ) that after wathing it for a while it looks plastic :) A nice lady. Overall a very nice scene. I would give it a 7 but I get an impression that somebody overdid ps. I might be wrong if that's the case I am terribly sorry. 6. After voting on all of them i bumnp it up to 7

I wish her face wasn't quite so shadowed, but what can you do? This is an appealing shot and nicely executed, IMO.

Very nice back drop. A very appropriately dressed model. It looks like the lighting on the apple and the area surrounding the apple was a bit too bright. I gave it a 6.

i would prefer to have more depth of field to make the woman's face sharper.

A nice, simple, warm and honest photo. In other words, a great shot. Well done!

I really like this... cropping is perfect and the light is slightly brighter around the apple.

It tells a story beyond the apple. It shows (to me) the person that sells the fruit and her little world (with the background). An excellent environmental portrait.

10 from me!
