Beautiful apple Cassandra! The colors, the skin details and the well area are so well done!!!! There are a couple of areas I would revisit. First is the highlight – it needs to come down a little and also be a little bigger. Apples usually have a nice shiny skin and the highlight helps convey that. Also be careful not to outline your subject. I would take a kneaded eraser and lighten the left side edge (which is closer to your light source) and also the area under the reflected highlight. I would add a little color to the reflected highlight so it is not so white. You are almost there!!!
