A Pair

I thought the plastic tray for the pears might produce an interesting texture when darkened. F16 for 8 seconds, ISO 200. DP2M.​

Something to frame.........

And it spells pear....

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, I was punning.

Yes, I was punning.

Yes, I know. But let me, as non-native English speaker, have my little moment of victory.....

Pears in black leather eh? Kinky!

Lovely textures Rob. I find the centre highlight a bit bright but otherwise I like it.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I was thinking that too, Pete, but when I diminished the highlight, the image seemed to suffer somehow. I think I quite like the v-shape of that central highlight, especially as the pears are fairly dull, characterless things.

 

[Pete Askew]

Yes, it's a nice shape but the pairs are rather isolated I think. I wondered if that might help 'unite' them.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, as I said, I tried it but didn't like the result. But I agree that the pairs look a bit lonely and forlorn. Poor things. What have I done!?

 

[Pete Askew]

They'll probably be mouldy by the morning. You'd better put them out of their misery and eat them!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good idea! Far more interesting when mouldy...

What a pear one in Edinburg and one in......

Superb Rob, some great qualities in this image and good shapes to work with.
