Allows Edits? YesAs usual, your striking still life.
I want to name this “bruised and battered” except for the apples which are of a different character than the rest of the fruit. I’m not sure if that matters or not to your composition.
I am left wondering about the background at the top of the frame. The lighter hues and colors seem a mismatch to the very dark wood under the bowl. That I found myself wondering what it is made it a distraction for me, though maybe not for you or others.
Lord, I wish I had your skill and patience to construct these peaceful and calming views of quiet and ordinary interest.

Hi mate ,
The lighting and painterly textures are absolutely stunning here. The only thing distracting me is how tight the crop is especially the clipped banana stem at the top. I think pulling back to give the bowl some negative space (breathing room) would really elevate the mood and balance the composition.
The mood and tonal quality here are stunning the textures on the pear and the specular highlight on the apple are exquisite 🙂
Just something to consider if you can Valery , i looked at the photo here on the forum but i also looked at it on a dark background , here on the forum being bright ( background of the forum ) this image can look a touch dark in the shadows , when you view on a dark background those shadows are nowhere near as dark looking … for my own taste and ONLY for viewing reasons the dark background sends this image into old masters territory even further 🙂

Hi Patrick @patricw-2
This is exactly the reason why I’m editing on the LR dark gray background. I’m glad that I’m not the only one..-

Yeah i do the same with all my stuff mate , it gives you a good base to analyse things , one of things many forget or just don’t realise the colour that surrounds anything your showing plays a big part in how the main point of interest its recieved.
A bit like flipping the image to see errors in balance that you will only see when flipped

Allows Edits? YesGorgeous. Love it. It’s great to see a few more of these back on the forum.
In terms of shark Tank feedback, I think most of what I have to say would be pretty subjective. Possibly a very slight increasing overall exposure.. and perhaps a white crop on the bottom. But I will admit that this is pretty lame in terms of feedback. Such a solid and intentional shot.
