Your lighting, sharpness and details are good in this composition. But there are a few things you can do to improve the visual impact of the composition. First is to change the angle slightly. To me, it looks like the camera is positioned slightly above the apple rather than at eye level to it. Placing the main element at eye level will make it easier for the viewer to 'read' the pages. In addition you need to angle the open wedge of this apple a bit more away from the viewer so that the pages are a bit more readable. In your composition they are at an angle that does not make them easy to see. Kudos for trying to make the edges nice, sharp and rounded to conform to the shape of the apple. There are a little rough edges here. For your viewers to 'bite' that the pages naturally belong in the apple it really has to look the part. Sometimes the devil is in the details. Rounding off the edges of the book pages to be nice & sharp as well as cleanly rounded (not an easy task I'm sure) will pay off in the end. None-the-less a good emulation on the original.

I like it although it falls down a bit due to its very narrow DOF. 6

Clever but the light background was more complimenting in the original.

Nicely done. Great job matching the DOF of the original. Your pages could be a little smoother.

not as good as the other two i've already seen... ok, maybe better than the one with the words running the wrong way...

This probably would have matched better if you took the shot from a little further away. The flash seems a little harsh too.
