First I took a yellow / red apple, peeled it (unfortunately the apple's skin didn't get off in one piece) and sewed the skin back together. I held the apple's skin on a little wire. Used my softbox at the right.
I really don't like the background, it's a bit uneven, but I couldn't fix it better in PS somehow.
Crop, USM, cloning, adjusted the red level with hue to get it yellow too.
I'm planning to make a serie of these kind of set-ups, with all kinds of fruit.

Very creative. Love the concept. The lighting seems a bit harsh (bit of a hot spot on the peel - can be corrected by diffusing the light). Good choice of background color.
I love the creative idea that you have captured here!!! The emply shell of this yellow pear is held together by yellow thread. The juicy heart of the matter is gone but the stiched up shell is presented in such a way that the viewer still can sink their teeth into this conceptual shot and 'taste' the flavor of its meaning. Wonderfully executed; the lighting is spot on and the focus is great with lots of details present in the skin of the pear. The only critique I have for this piece is that the background color does nothing to complement the subject. That dull plum purple hue is rather detracting from the main subject. A bold or vibrant hue (say green) would complement this subject better and really make it visually pop off instead of withdraw on the page. A solid black background could do that for the focal point as well but then you would not have a really rich & vibrant color from which to bounce this off of. Great job, I can see this in the top 20.
