An apple a day keeps the doctor away!

Hello friends!
Took a stroll today, and the weather was rather gray and dull. I was munching on this apple and it struck me how beautiful it was, it's lovely red and white colors in strong contrast to the gray surrounding. So, I stoped on a bridge and put the apple on the railing and snapped a few pictures
Just wanted to share! :):

    Wow the apple really does contrast nicely, almost like selective coloring but with that natural look to it. I prefer the 2nd shot as the lines lead my eye right to the apple.

    Now did you at least wipe off the apple before finishing itrolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif

    Thank you, Eric!
    *Haha* Well actually, when I was done shooting, I gave it a good throw of the bridge, tryin' to snap a final pic of it in the air. Needless to say, that didn't happen! :Drolleyes1.gif

    I love the second shot best. I like being able to see what's around the apple. The first one is very nice, though. I love the bright color of the apple. Really makes it stand out!
