To begin with, the soft grey background brings the apple and the water droplets to the foreground; this forces the viewer to immediately look at the water droplet and mentally watch it as it hits the apple. After watching the water droplets, the image also forces the viewer to look at the puddle of water in the center of the apple; this led me to start wondering if the focal point of this piece was the water droplets or the puddle of water?
Next, seeing the apple makes me think the image is more of a geometrical shape than it is an organic one. The assortments of reds and yellows on the apple gives the image a bright feeling; as if the viewer's mood will be instantly lifted after viewing this image. Also, the puddle of water in the center of the apple, makes that particular part of the image appear to have a rough texture. To sum it up, I choose this picture because it intrigued me and it made me think of how long it took the photographer to capture the water droplets falling on the apple.

One of the things I really enjoy about this image is the blur that the gray background has. It's not as crisp and clear as the apple and droplets are and I think that adds a lot of interest to the image.
