The image was painted with a Nikon D2x; using a Nikkor AF-S DX Zoom 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED.

Image is sharp. Background is splendid. "Color rendition" is good.
A chewed up apple core isn't my cup of tea or the apple of my eye. (Gee, I hope it was good though! :D) I'd rather see the symmetry of a whole apple with the color of the skin and so on. But that's just my preference, Gus.
