This is a very cool idea that you improved upon. I guess not everyone finds the abnormally portrayed to be intriguing... whomever gave you a 1 on this is just mad their cat-nose photo didn't win the last open challenge so I wouldn't take it personally :) Great camera too (the D200).
Great Bouquet - check
razor sharpness (literally) - check
creativity - check
strangeness - check
Yours is better than the one on the Toronto Photo club site by far.
Great work! |

That is such a cool image and concept - it looks like the pear has been riveted together - and the processing finishes it perfectly.
Congrats on the well deserved ribbon. |

| Very nicely done. I especially like the feel the pins add to the image. I could easily see this image as an art print, as it is an image that one would not tire of seeing. Would love to see this on a gallery wall as a large art print. This is where the impact would be felt. Congrats on a very well deserved ribbon. |

Thanks.
It took me about 20 minutes to put all the pins in, and about 5 minutes to set up the light tent to get the best shadows. In hindsight, I should have put the light tent up first, to ensure the pear didn't get too brown, but I had intended this pear as a trial only. But, after putting the time in, I decided to shoot this one right away. |

Ha! Now if I could only predict the next five minutes of my life.....
Congrats on a great idea, even though it wasn't yours originally. Well done. I think this should have blued.

| The pear is actually quite cool for a subject, but the backdrop on which it's sitting, is very distracting that I think it hurts the picture. 5 |
