    Default Pear Painting

    I was grocery shopping yesterday evening and looked up to see these beautiful red pears in one of the displays. I brought home three to see what I could do with them and will no doubt shoot them again tomorrow in better light right before I turn them into Pear, Cranberry and Gingersnap Crumble. Tonight, though, I took a quick flash image of one on top of a wooden table, cleaned it up in Photoshop and then took it for a spin in Fotosketcher using their oil painting setting.

    There's a lot to like about this, Jules, but I think the best part is the simplicity. Hopefully you'll share some of tomorrow's images with us, too. I can't wait to see the other pair. (Couldn't resist that.)

    Hi Julie, I like the simplicity of this. Very nicely filtered too! Nice work! I'm hoping you'll share some of the crumble with us

    Jules, I like the color tones and the square crop. It looks a little tight on the bottom.

    Julie, I like the processing..it just seems a little tight to me all around...particularly on the bottom and left. Great lighting...wonderful textures..you have me curious now about that filter!...hoping to see more!

    Jules, I like the simplicity of the composition and the textures are lovely. I think it seems a little tight on the bottom.

    If I may echo some of the above....great look. love it, esp the simplicity and texture. I do think, too that it is a bit tight at the bottom.

    Hope the crumble was as good as the photo here!!!!!!!! yum

    Nice work on this one, Jules! Nice fall colors, too.
    I agree with the point made about needing a bit more space on the bottom. If the gold table took up a little closer to 1/3 of the image, I think this one would be perfect!

    Julie, Agree with the tight at the bottom. Otherwise very nice.............the lean of the pear to LRC does it for me. Good textures.........
