I think you succeeded with the idea of weight. If I were to suggest anything, it would be that the apples might need a little more light. On my camera, there is a setting that changes how the camera meters light: The choices are Evaluative, Spot, and Center-Weighted Average, if I remember correctly.
In this case, *maybe* (and I’m not 100% sure) the spot meter would be the one to choose. It would choose the amount of light based on the “spot” you focus on – in this case, the apples. When you use the Center-Weighted Average, I believe it takes into consideration all of the light in the frame and averages it. I can’t remember what evaluative means, lol.
Nonetheless, it’s a good photo. And you might be able to adjust it in post-processing anyway.
Thanks for the tip, Carolyn. I’ll look to see if my camera has that feature. I’m still trying to figure out half the settings.
Funny, you asked us to comment if something jumped out at us, because these apples seemed to pop off the page for me. I do think Carolyn has a good suggestion. Getting the light right is a challenge for me.
