Hi Susan- this is a gorgeous shiny red apple!!! Your color selection and saturation are great! The skin pattern is also really well done! I think you could add more dark toning on the left side of the well that the stem emerges from. I would expect that the dark part of the cast shadow would continue to the left a little further. Personally I would lighten the cast shadow a little. It is on the verge of being too dark and it is diverting my attention from that wonderful apple. If you are going to do a cast shadow I would also have a reflected highlight. Wonderful job!!!
