Thanks for all the comments! This was a difficult shot, because the market was crowded, there weren't many apples (what you see is what there was), and the apples were surrounded by clutter. I played with the shot a while, and tried the fisheye, but other shots worked less well than this one.
What attracted me was the low, warm December light on the apples, and the deep shadows. I like what Mark did with the shot, except that it makes it look too much like September rather than December. Something in between would probably be ideal.
