Feels like a Jonathan or Brad shot! :P Thought about sticking around after work to hit this up, but didn't feel like taking the bus home :)

Nice capture. Angle is good to remove a lot of the distractions around the ROM

Thanks.

It took me about 20 minutes to put all the pins in, and about 5 minutes to set up the light tent to get the best shadows. In hindsight, I should have put the light tent up first, to ensure the pear didn't get too brown, but I had intended this pear as a trial only. But, after putting the time in, I decided to shoot this one right away.

oh...I meant to put this in my previous comment. Is it possible to see the color version w/o editing? Just curious about the monochrome conversion.

Originally posted by Jac: Frankenpear. Very very cool. Well photographed too with the shallow dof being utilized to enhance the frankenpear in the background. Keep your original file because this should win a ribbon and I don't want to see it get DQed. :)

Ha! Now if I could only predict the next five minutes of my life.....

Congrats on a great idea, even though it wasn't yours originally. Well done. I think this should have blued.

Congrats on the ribbon. I have to say that I actually prefer your version over the original.
