Well, here’s my contribution to the Bosc Pear Photography Obsession.
At the moment there are no flowers in my garden and although I don’t mind winter, I often find myself at a loss as to what to photograph. So when I came across these lovely pears whilst doing my grocery shopping I became inspired. (I so love it when you can eat your still life when you’re finished with it).
Today is the last day of Texture Tuesday until 2013. I can’t remember why that is so, it just is…
It is also the “Free and Easy Edition” where all you have to do is use any texture of your choice. I used Kim’s “paper and paste” on multiply. I don’t usually go so texture-heavy but of course Bosc Pears cry out for it and when Bosc Pears cry out, I listen.
I’m hoping that the next time you see them, they are in a tart.
Art – simply put! Great work.
Wonderful pear photos and wonderful processing, too! I also miss taking photos of flowers!
Amazing texture work and wonderful pears ! Best regards, Synnöve
Pears are just the most sensual and photogenic of fruit, aren’t they? Genius shots…love them. Last winter I found some baby pears that I had never seen before and had so much fun with them. They’re up on my dining room wall now.
As always, fabulous photos Barb!
Looking forward to seeing that tart.
These are lovely, love your composition of the three standing side by side in the last shot especially. Beautifully done.
Just beautiful. Don’t you love textures?
These photographed well and look very tasty. The last shot is my favorite because I love things in threes. :)
I don’t know what else to say except WOW – these pears are tres cool! I especially like the first photo. The texture and edit are perfect!!
i really like them all, but i think the 1st is my fave. :)
Well…sigh…these are truly gorgeous!! And yes the texture is just perfect with these. Hmmm, will you share tarts photos with us? :)
gorgeosity in triplicate and oh indeed YES, listen whenever pears, Bosc or otherwise, speak…
Oh I do love the pears…with the added leaf, perfect!! Put the coffee on, I’ll be over for the Pear Tart!!

Lovely series. I especially like the first one. (I like the sound of the tart, too. Yum!)
These are fabulous! I wish I knew how to add texture to my photos…one day! :)
Gorgeous it would look good as a scrap page simple and beautiful…
Your composition & processing of The pears is very aesthetic – artistic, Barb! The beauty is in the eye of the beholder, thank you for capturing and sharing the extraordinary & beautiful!
Beautiful images.

What a beautiful job you did with these pears…they are not my favorite fruit, but these photos make my mouth water. Excellent choice on the texture, too. Bravo!
