Description Choose your destiny,
Forced into the water,
but don't get wet.
such twisted irony.

Pick the red apple,
resist the poison.
Resist the temption,
never let power
of persuasion
takes you over.

the different colors of apple: show choices, good or bad
desaturation of hands: show neutrality and vulnerability of us when choosing something full of deceptions

Beautifully lit, I must say - and that tinge of purple in the background of the image adds really well the overall tone of the image. I love how you've used the different colours in the apples, and how you're interpreted them - superb!

I have to say, I'm not a big fan of partial de-saturation. In this case, it feels like we're being beaten over the head with the concept.

Great composition with the colours, this reminds me of the wicked witch poisoning apples for snow white to eat.

Sin is the word that comes to my mind once I look at this photo more closely! The apples and the purple cloth confirm or corroborate my assumption at least to me. I just think the focus could be on the other hand too. It would make it more brilliant.

This is featured on my journal!

Creative lighting and framing. Once again, the strong point of this image is the concept that lies behind it. I feel that your pictures are greatly supplemented by your poems. Very good work, looks somewhat out of focus/blurry, but when looking at such a striking image, it doesnt seem to be a problem. great work.

i really like how one apple has this circling light around it (the lighter part of the apple)

light parts attrack your eye, which is the temptation. Its like i cant get ym eyes away from it! great work!
