Location: Harwich Port, MA
Date: Jan 22, 2010
Aperture: f/11
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1 second
Date Uploaded: Jan 23, 2010

Tripod, North skylight, RAW. ISO was at 400 and I did not realize it, but on the 5D it doesn't really matter.

Image worked over in Topaz at several levels, and a lot of detail cloning took place also. The foreground lettuce was that purple stuff and I ended up hating how it looked so I had to morph that as well. Would have been simpler just to reshoot the damned thing but I was caught up in the challenge of PPing it to where i thought it should be regardless.

This is different. Very good detail on the pears, especially the right one. While I think being different, or out-of-the-box, is good at times, I'm just not sure that gets the same impact with the greens as it would with more traditional props. All JMO of course. :-) Good luck.

Nice fruit, nice image -- good colors. Perhaps it is an illusion due to their stronger pattern or perhaps my eyes are going bad, but it seems that the green leafy stuff in the BG is in better focus than the pears (Comment only, no vote)

The lighting of the pears is off. I think the bottom is just too dark.

Interesting textures. The ground seems rather dull and lacks some detail. I like the green leafy background.
