Kudos to my wife for helping me on this one. I wanted to get a surgeons mask and cap, but waited until the last minute and couldn't. Took this on a white sheet laid over the butcher block on our kitchen table. Used a halogen work lamp with the overhead lights turned off.

This is a nice setup, and idea. I'd like to offer some help on getting the photo a better rated score. I'd suggest trying to using levels and curves to take the white up to have a cleaner background area. I'd also suggest that its just a bit under exposed on the apple. Perhaps an exposure adjustment as well. maybe a little more forward light. Also adding more light on the background without getting it on the subject will help.

Nice setting and shot! I wouldve lit the apple maybe a little bit more, it seems very dark to me. Well done and good luck with the next challenge!
