 Three flashes used for lighting. One mini softbox to the left at 1/16; one mini softbox higher and to the right at 1/8; and one snooted orange gel'd flash handheld from the front right aimed at the table in front of the pear.

Cropped, cloned out a few specks from the table, adjusted the contrast in the midtones and shadows, burned the shadow on the table to smooth out the hard edge, adjusted Blue/Green levels, sharpened during resizing.

Excellent simplicity. These pears do have a whole world of color and texture when you pay attention.

gorgeous texture captured on the pear. The plain composition suits the subject very well. I like that the wood grain is still visible in the foreground..gives us some textural contrast.

Simple but effective. A more painterly light may have made this even more sumptuous.
