Great job Patricia! The color selection is spot on and great job on the patterning! A couple things to consider are: I would get a little darker with the toning on the left side of the stem well. Also don’t forget that the stem would cast a shadow. I would suggest adding more dark and mid-range toning starting on the right edge of the apple to enhance the apple’s form. Finally, with the cast shadow there should be a dark line at the apple’s edge and then the toning smoothly fades as it moves away from the apple. The cast shadow does not have to be bigger in size from what you have done and overall it does not have to be very dark. A suggestion is what you are aiming for, but make sure the toning is done as nicely as the main subject.
