That's a beautiful pear — looks to be in perfect shape! One can't help but wonder tho, why this pear is sitting all alone in this dark space, on this lovely platter. Perhaps the pear is pondering something? :) I do love the bokeh created by the cut glass plate.
Thank you for the comment shared on my Coneflower Center pic the other day. That was very sweet of you. And yes, I agree with your suggestion of the image feeling a bit psychedelic.
@lyndemc :) the pear is sitting all alone there because i had to photograph something! and decided that because the lighting was already low... i'd make the most of it and add in a vignette. Poor pear!! (now back in the fruit bowl before i eat it!)
@claireuk sheen. hmm. Do you mean a little highlight on the side of the pear? I thought about that - but decided time was not on my side!! give me some ideas how and what that might look like and i can experiment
I'm sort of with Claire on this one...I love the dark and moody but it needs a highlight (try shining a torch on one side of it from fairly close so that it doesn't create a shadow on the other side). Are you on facebook?
@brigette Sorry yes highlight, words get muddled sometimes, I think a torch, would be fine although I was think a candle somehow. Not my area of expertise, tag me if you reshoot please @swilde
@claireuk - it does look flat.. the only lighting was a lamp on the other side of the room!! Will re shoot it when i have some time :) thanks for taking the time to comment - appreciated
