Yummy... one a day keeps the Dr away.... great capture Bill well done!!

UMMM Looks good. I just this morning got a big bag og apples home. We are now out of old apples from the trees in the garden, only a few half dry apples left for the blackbirds. :-)

I love the green apple! Ah, those are excellent for keeping jetlag at bay as well, so one a day is good, and one just after you get off a plane is even better...but I have to say the pineapple really draws my attention. I think of dinosaur scales whenever I see pineapple skin, and well...I'm weird like that. Show me a fruit and I see dinosaurs, show me an aircraft and I see an insect. What I really like about this image, however, is the way it makes me remember my autumn days in the small Czech town of Cesky Krumlov...I developed a fondness for apples there, becuase I could go into a small orchard and pick them; in order to get to that orchard, you have to cross through the castle, so now apples and castles are forever linked in my mind. THESE apples are much better looking than those, and probably far juicier and filled with that applish-pulp. The ones I picked were hard things that could break weak teeth. WOW! What a ramble this has become! But this image evoked all of that and reminded me of something that will forever be a part of me. Thank you for stirring that up!

The programme about chaos theory is still fresh in my mind. The connection to your striking photo is this: Alan Turing, the code breaker, whose innovative thought contributed so much to the discovery was exposed as a homosexual by an ex-lover, tried and convicted, and given the choice of prison or female hormones to 'correct' him. He chose the latter but became so acutely depressed that he laced an apple with cyanide and commited suicide at the age of 41. A HUGE loss to science and an indictment of attitudes, some of which persist in some communities still. SUPERB still life, Bill!

Clean! Crisp looking! Looks almost real, Bill.. An impressive close up! You've done well here.. Rob

Speechless!!! What an awesome still life Bill. Perfect composition, perfect light, perfect health... Geezzz, you have outdone yourself with this one! Excellent work! :)

Thanks, but I don't do fruits... not if they aren't preserve :D Excellent shot, good composition!

I'm tempteted for your offer and actually a bite of fresh fruit is a perfect temptation for my stomach!!! Excellent compo and presentation too!!! :)

Trmpted, but just not by the green one.

Tempting but look what happened to Adam!!! Great capture.

Beautiful apples and other fruits. Wonder how much toxic pesticide has been sprayed on them before we eat them. Those pesticides are dangerous to ones health.

very appetizing picture!!!! Wonderful colors!!!!

SWEET APPLE :) The Quebec fruit state :)

Hmm, keeps my doctor at bay on a daily basis... Tempting indeed... Any wax involved...? Clive

You just reminded me about Adam and Eve with your title and image. Nice capture. Aloha

Mouthwatering, looks so inviting even though apples give me indigestion :o)

Great still life close-up. I should follow Bazza's advice. I'm sick, again.

Lovely work so refreshing, I would have removed the little sticker from the orange prior but thats just me.. Hope we still get to see that pineapple before you slice into it, if you haven't already... Nice work my friend.

Mmmm some of my favorite foods. Thankfully my kids like fruit better than junk also so...lol

I ALREADY FEEL HUNGRY! GREAT SHOT!

Beautiful colors and it does look tempting!

If I was to take a bite, I would lose my immortality. Looks like a Granny Smith baking apple, or a golden delicious, but there are so many varieties that it's difficult to tell. Nice, crisp still life, Bill!

time to eat

excellent capture!!

Those stickers make be crazy--what's the point?? Oh well, a great still life, sticker or not!!

Wonderful shot!!

Great shot. The point of the sticker for Beechzz is the PLU number is printed on the stickers. so if you manage to get even one in you bag with a sticker the cashier doesn't have to look up the PLU number and it makes it faster to ring up. Seriously look at the Bananas for instance the PLU is 4011 you just type it in the register and it puts in the per lbs price. Ok I'm done ranting now.

brilliant!!

Drats now I've spoilt your wonderful photo as when I zoomed, I couldn't resist taking a bite. I really love fruit and I couldn't go past this apple. Now I know how Eve felt.

Mmmmmmmm ... Granny Smith ... my favorite! And a Red Delicious off to the side. Gosh. I need to go grab an apple from the fridge!
