Very well played the regular shadows making great patterns on the apples.
Good b/w also.

Zebra apples falling in the wind sound like hoofbeats. Nice photo!

I have long admired the effect that shadows from blinds creates. The extra benefit of the screening to soften the direct sun light is a nice touch. The screening appears to shape and model the light while nice details of the fruit shows in the shadow of the blinds. The screen also allows you to hold the white threshold and get detail without losing it to full white without the detail. At the same time, you hold the dark theshold so that detail shows there as well. The bowl also seems to acquire the light in a compliemtnary manner so that the bowl is defined but does not take over the frame. Nice work

@Jed: thx! what a nice comment. about sums it up, though my approach was more like along the lines of wondering what effect the screen would have : ]

I thought it is the shadow of wire-netting, and reading through the comments I found that this the blinds! Either way, it's beautiful! What's special is the curved, diagonal shadow lines.
