The last in the series of 'Pear' images...thank goodness I hear you cry Wink
Lit by daylight but this time I used a piece of black card to 'stop' some of the light on the LHS of the image as I wanted to go really quite dark.
I suspect I will go even darker in some parts when this one is commited to the printer,down the lines of the Old Masters kinda thing.

Did you spot the Ladybug ? ..............oh & look...no lace curtains on this one...lol Wink Wink

Thanks for dropping by & your patience with this set of creations.

Hi Brian...yup,no curtains to get in the way this time...they are in the wash...manky indeed !!! Wink
Dunno if I like this one, as it is here, the best,the really dark version is the way forward for me but I don't think it would project very well on here...has to be a print methinks.

Super how you matched the peach skins to the texture.

Looks good if you dump the highlight on the handle (put a finger over it) , then all those tones show the ladybird working with the hues , comes alive !

Arty farty thing , ignore the ramble x

I appreciate how difficult it is to set up a still life and get lighting right.
This is a fine piece of work.
Must check out your portfolio.
Lovely image.

You work light so beautifully. Dave's suggestion about the highlight on the handle seems to be spot on. A beautiful image.
