A very good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and classical composition was cleverly arranged to get those lighting effects. Well painted and good luck!

This is a stunning piece of artwork. I love realism. Your objects have a three dimensional quality and the reflection on the flat surface and silver pot are spot on! I also like the dark background with the pop of blue to catch the viewer's eye! A very dramatic and powerful still life! You have my vote!

I really like the boldness of this painting and all the strong vibrant colors. It looks so nice with the blue hues in the background against the warm colors of the fruit. I also like how well you have brought the fine shine in the glass jar, and the fine reflections from the fruit in a shiny surface.

Your brush work is really good, and you have also like how well you have used the high lights to bring life into this still life. Great textures to be seen as well.

The format and framing is perfect, and the jar and fruits have got a fine placement on the canvas. I think this is a lovely and well done painting with a strong visual compact, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Very nicely painted image of a shiny pot and fruit that is reflected on a black surface. The colours are rich and colourful but not unrealistic.
Very nicely composed and painted!

Love the reflection on the black surface and the silver pot. Your colors and textures you have achieved for the fruit are excellent. Want to take a bite of the apple :) Very nice artwork.

I love your composition. The reflection of the fruit on the table is a nice touch. You could have gone with just a shadow. I love the background as the color lightens to that beautiful blue color on the right. Great portrayal of the silver pot as well. Very well conceived painting.

This could be classified as the ultimate still life. Colors, reflection and staging is perfect. The DOF is on point. I expect the apple to roll away. Shade and shadow has been applied with expertise. Great job.

Your painting is intriguing. I like especially how the reflections are painted. The glass and the fruit are well arranged. The colors are realistic and appealing. The dark background emphasizes the still life perfectly. Your brush strokes are skilled and clean. Perspective and proportions are correct. The painting is well composed and framed.
