The girl at the greengrocers looked at me funny when i asked if they had any rotten fruit i could have and then proceeded to buy the "fresh" version of the same fruit. 60 pence spent for the fruit for this shot... wonder if it was worth it ;)
The "rotten" one wasnt really that bad... it was just bruised and cut and didnt create a good contrast to the ripe one so i stuck it in the oven for 20-30 minutes to make it brown and crinkly :)

Fascinating doubling! New and old AND reflections to boot! Nicely composed with curves leaning into each other. Moody lighting works and the colors are great!
Beautiful picture, good composition, it's pairs (or should I say pears?) whether horizontal or vertical in the reflection. Nice and sharp, maybe unrealistically, and good black background.
