 I've always wanted to shoot pears, so here they are. Boxes are very old, from my mom's collection and I thought the colors complemented.

I like the low key colors but I think just a touch more light would have been better. Also, the pear being right in the center sort of ruins the composition. I would try framing it different so that the pear is in the lower and right hand 1/3 of the frame.

Liek the texture, think the lighting could use work

I like the subject choice and it's well presented overall. I would like to see the lighting come up just a notch and it might be more balanced with some cropped off the left to get the standing pear off-center some. Overall, nicely done. Good luck!

BTW - Commenting only, not voting.

Wonderful lighting and the composition is so pleasing to the eye. It looks like a still life (the painted kind).
