Title:	Good things last for a long time
Gear used:	Olympus C2000Z at 37mm, P mode
Diaphragm:	f11
Shutter speed:	1/30
Technical information:	Flash (rather crudely used I'm afraid).
Subject information:	This apple I got at the photokina (Sept. 26th) and kept it to see how long it would last. I never found the time to photograph it properly - i.e. with film and OM, so now it's just a snapshot - but then I wanted to share this special apple with the Olympus community and decided to submit it nonetheless!

Well, you may call it "just a snap shot", but to me it looks like a carefully composed still life. And then, it's quite a nice one at that, with lovely bright colours and good detail on the keys. So, what's there not to like?

Nice composition and good variety of colour Doro. The thumbnail is very intriguing...

Love it! Just one question...on the apple, something appears to be carved...it looks like "Olympus".... Is this a reference to a Greek god, or something? What might be the connection to this Greek god and the piano?!!

I'm glad you like it :) I would have preferred to have set the flashlight without any bad reflections. As it is now, you don't really see the OLYMPUS logo properly... Benson: The connection is age - but then the piano is a lot older than the apple :)

...but not a word about the wonderful old Bluethner? What a story it would tell!

Ok you really out did yourself here. Wonderful composition and nice colors. Both the piano and the apple show age. I agree with you that it's too bad that the light washed out the Olympus name. However the apple might have two many wrinkles to make a difference.
