BTW; My shadows and such kinda failed...

More of a showcase than criticizing please??

 

It's pretty good but really if there's that much light there needs to be much more shadow on the other side.

 

Lighting seems off, the smudging would give some light in theory.
You could transform -> flip horizontal the apple, and then burn the ground texture.
While creating some light from the smudge mainly soft white brush layers set on overlay.

 

Ill give it an 8/10

 

Read up the rules buddy.

 

Thanks for the comments, I am thinking of doing just a whole range of work that requires a high detail lighting set and trying to improve to create a more real effect with lighting, kind of the same thing Haunted is doing but more casual, when ever.

You could maybe help the guy by passing advice like, you can rate it but with an adequate reason such as:

Code:

That's fair good #/10; Because I like the .............. but it needs more attention. Maybe it could be more lighter and not so dark..... blah blah blah

And so on..

 

Those pictures are very crystal clear. I like how you added the light onto the second apple

 

Thank you kamakazy kid, I too like the lighting I attempted.

See, the thing is.. It's a stock ^_^

And TBH I am a fair shit at rendering and for one, I do not want to compromise this, anymore.
