autumnal C&C please

Is it worth going back for a second bite?
C&C please, I have a couple of issues with it.

Thanks

I think the bush on the left side is your problem.
Just the apple on the branch with a clean landscape background might have been better.

The shot also lacks some contrast to my eyes and is a bit dim, maybe boost those up a little?


I only said bad things now.
I love the idea with the apple though i think it would work with a bit more work.

A bit lacking in the composition department perhaps? All the interest seems pushed to the edges - and unfortunately the edges are also a bit soft.

Thanks. I was wondering if it was worth the effort when passing next.
I've pepped it up a bit below.
It was a bit windy and the branch was swinging back and too making the shot a bit iffy. That and the lens at 10mm.

I'll try and remember to use the flash next time too.

That's much better... upping the sharpness and contrast a bit makes the branch stand out against the background nicely.
