Comment from photographer: Thanks for all your comments. They are very helpful and I appreciate the time you took to make them. I do have a surprise for some of you -- there are no real pears in the photo. They are all glass or ceramic. The one on the right that looks real is made by an artist in England. Even up close you can't tell that it is fake.

Pelican Inn

Comment:
Photographers comments: The picture was taken in the dining room of a small English style Bed & Breakfast Inn outside of San Francisco. I did not rearrange anything before taking the picture; this is exactly how I found the setting.

That's a dining table on the lower right. Because of the slow shutter speed I set my camera on the table and used it as a tripod. I received several comments asking about the chairs on the left - they look out of place (too high) because they were on top of a bench in order to get them out of the way during the daytime when they weren't needed for dining.

My thanks to everyone for their voting and comments. This was my first submission to DP Challenge and I found it challenging, enlightening and a lot of fun.

Nice picture. The lower left smaller tree is distracting, though

Very original. Amusing play on words, subject.

Good composition. Tighter cropping would help improve the image.

Nice contrast between the hand and fruit. B/W really emphasizes the difference.

Out of Place (?) in Santa Cruz, CA?

Great subject matter. It's too bad the cliffs line up with their heads the way it does. I think it would have been better visually to have had the cliffs either clear the top of their heads of had the heads line up above the cliffs. Great shot though.
