I like this. I think it would have been stronger if you would have used fruit that was not defective, changed to black and white, and played with the contrast or curves
Nice orange tones and lovely glow. i feel like this image might have been nice if there was a little less of the total blackness behind the pear and if you could see the stem. although the almost 50/50 distribution of the light on the table is interesting in a way.
you know the stem is there, but we don't. I would have cropped it right down to get rid of the black crushing from above. Beautiful work in every other regard - 8 for now
