Wild pear tree behind my house...hard to get to the pears as they are quite high in the tree. Used a telephoto lens, on tripod and hand held to get different effects..the tripod didn't give the slight blur of handheld images, which is what I wanted for the impressionist feeling...this was my favorite image since the sunlight above gave a nice glow to the edges of the pears...crop, levels, hue/saturation, color balance,light use of palette knife filter, slight gaussian blur to selective areas, no sharpening.
