Hi Fanny- the cast shadow really helps ground the apple. There looks like a light tone closest to the apple and that should actually be the darkest area. You could also fade it out a little more as it extends out. Something to consider now that you have added a cast shadow is to also have a reflected highlight. This apple is so well done! Great job!!!!
Thank you Doug! The edge of the apple near the shadow does stand out weirdly and it looks better after I darkened the shadow. The reflected highlight is still a little scary so I might add it later.
