Pear

Pear Still Life with Window Light. Your comments and suggestions are

most appreciated. Thanks:)!

A very nice image, with wonderful texture throughout. The simple shape of the pear, with it's rather lumpy curves is accentuated by the projected lines from the blinds on the window. The lines cut through the pear at key points, the top and bottom of the stem, the curves of the pear where it changes direction from positive to negative, and the large final shadow of the fruit itself, sriking a bold line for the viewer's eye to follow right off the right edge of the image. The shadow's of the blinds further induce our eyes to leave the image with their strong diagonal path to the corner. The curvalinear nature of the fruit is further carried out in the path of the shadow of the pear itself as it meanders over the paper it seems to be sitting upon, and the lines on the lower half of the pear are wonderful. The use of subtle tones, simple light/shadow, curves vs lines and texture combine to make this a very memorable image - seemingly very simple, but very well thought out to make it so. Great job- thanks for sharing it with us!

Chris,

I particularily like your use of light/shdow and the diagonal lines of this image. It is simple, yet draws you in. Very well done.
