 Taken in my backyard. I lay in the grass to get the shot.

Very little post processing, boosted contrast and saturation, I increased the green channel and saved for the web.

I like the composition. I think that it would be a lot better if the focus would be in the apples instead of the grass.

It was one of my highest rated photos and I don't understand the 48th place :(

Anyway, it's a great shot :)

This is a really good idea.
I like it.
The light seems flat though which really sucks.
This could've easily been a ribbon. :)

not sure if the picture would have been more or less effective had you misted the grass surrounding the apples as well. Nice color though!

Nice perspective, which alot of these shots don't have. This has a true background. Nice DOF. Love the simplicity and the water on the apples. Nicely composed with good use of negative space. 7
