balancing fruits on a sofa 1

So here it is, my first take on the "Balance act challenge", from the DPW homepage.
Realized half way through that I chose the wrong apple. Bought 2 sorts of apples, one smaller and shiny, the other larger but no shine at all. When I took pictures and tried out different ways to stack them, I chose the shiny one.
But now I think the larger one would have worked better, I tried to make the apple bigger, but didn't want to ruin the painting.
Well... I learn a lot, that is what counts right?
