Thank you. I know it still looks like wax, but  I'm no where near close to being
done with the apple, lots of work and discovery left. I'm not striving for
realism as much as I am accuracy. An apple looks the way it does as a result of
several layers of pigmentation and texture.Yes, I'm going to add a stem and
leaf, and slices - and then start on the next layer dependant texture on the the
list ( I'm thinking carambola ).     ;-]

The 'head-scratcher' , and the reason for the post, was the problem with
shadowing. I  tried several diferent configs but didn't seem to be able to
affect the outcome very much. I know that the radiosity functioning in POV is
still experimental, but hopefully what's happening is my fault and can be
corrected.
