I still think this is a classic.#3: Mark Conger (aruba) on Jan 4, 2006
Still one of the very best puzzles in the database.#4: Gitte Olesen (granny40) on Nov 22, 2006
Very good. Nice too. :-)#5: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Nov 15, 2007 [SPOILER]
This is very nice, especially the apple in mid-air.#6: Jennifer Jones (geekess) on Jun 6, 2008
Takes lots of thought to each little square and being asymetrical you can't guess much ahead. Thanks for such a great puzzle!#7: Byrdie (byrdie) on Sep 22, 2009 [SPOILER]
Makes me think of those puzzle books - "Where's Newton?"#8: michelle johnson (blubrd420) on Jan 9, 2010 [HINT] [SPOILER]
Mmm...delicious gravity.#9: Teresa K (fasstar) on Sep 3, 2011
Nicely designed.#10: Kit E. Katz (hello) on Dec 4, 2011 [SPOILER]

I think it is funny that the first three comments span over a year and are by the same user. The early days of this site must have had very few users.
I was hoping to see Isaac about to get bopped.
Ditto all who say this is one of the best on the site (apple tree or not!) The use of white spaces in the tree canopy make it a challenge as well as a beautiful image. And to think of a falling apple is a stroke of genius. Way to go bopeep!
