The apple is the pomaceous fruit of the apple tree, species Malus domestica in the rose family Rosaceae. It is one of the most widely cultivated tree fruits. The tree originated from Central Asia, where its wild ancestor is still found today. There are more than 7,500 known cultivars of apples resulting in a range of desired characteristics. At least 55 million tons of apples were grown worldwide in 2005, with a value of about $10 billion. China produced about 35% of this total. The United States is the second leading producer, with more than 7.5% of the world production. Turkey, France, Italy, and Iran are also among the leading apple exporters.
The center of diversity of the genus Malus is in eastern Turkey. The apple tree was perhaps the earliest tree to be cultivated, and its fruits have been improved through selection over thousands of years. Alexander the Great is credited with finding dwarfed apples in Asia Minor in 300 BCE those he brought back to Macedonia might have been the progenitors of dwarfing root stocks. Winter apples, picked in late autumn and stored just above freezing, have been an important food in Asia and Europe for millennia, as well as in Argentina and in the United States since the arrival of Europeans.Apples were brought to North America with colonists in the 1600s,and the first apple orchard on the North American continent was said to be near Boston in 1625. In the 1900s, irrigation projects in Washington state began and allowed the development of the multi-billion dollar fruit industry, of which the apple is the leading species.
The proverb "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," addressing the health effects of the fruit, dates from 19th century WalesResearch suggests that apples may reduce the risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer.Compared to many other fruits and vegetables, apples contain relatively low amounts of Vitamin C as well as several other antioxidant compounds.[39] The fiber content, while less than in most other fruits, helps regulate bowel movements and may thus reduce the risk of colon cancer. They may also help with heart disease, weight loss, and controlling cholesterol as they do not have any cholesterol, have fiber, which reduces cholesterol by preventing reabsorption, and are bulky for their caloric content like most fruits and vegetables.

Hi Selahttin
There is a new species out on the market called Honey crisp which are large firm and very juicy, looking very much like these.
Definitely looking very appealing this must be the kind of apple that Eve tempted Adam with. You definitely are tempting us. Well done shot and pp.
Dot

Hello my friend,

Wonderful and delicious shot!
Beautiful colors, great PP work!
Congratulations and TFS
Sergio

Lovely image with awesome frame idea that makes the image appear very 3D like. The sharpness could have been a bit better if you had gone for a faster shutter speed/used fill flash. The descriptive notes are excellent and I give you full credit for that!

regards,

Dilshan

The softness is the beauty of this post.here I do not buy the idea of using fill flash/high shutter speed.Its more natural in appearance.However mind you they are suffering from some disease must consult some expert to treat them.tfs

Merhaba Hocam,
Hani bir zamanlar milletin dilinde "yıkılıyo" diye bir kelime moda olmuştu..Dallar resmen elmadan "yıkılyo"..Güzel bir paylaşım Üstad,

Merhaba hocam...
hormonsuz,ilaçsız güzelim Amasya elmaları, ne güzel bir çekim ve paylaşım..eline sağlık selamlar

Merhaba Selahattin Hoca,
Sayılamayacak kadar faydaları olan güzel bir
organik meyvenin sunumu ile de takdir edilecek bir
çekimi. 1,2 ve 3.üncü derece yanıklar da bir elmanın
duzgün bir şekilde ikiye bölünmüş bir yarısı ile
yanık yüzeyine günde iki defa yapılan attuchman
yani kibarca masaj, oluşturduğu film tabakası ve
elma özsuyundaki yararlı kimyasalar iyileşmeyi
hızlandırıyormuş...Selamlar sevgiler üstadım...
Dr.Seyfettin Güner

Une merveilleuse mise en page Selehattin
et un petit bonjour de mon passage aléatoire sur TL
Tres bel effet 3D
Amitiés
Henri
