Pairs, Pears, Green Four, Painting, Dark Background, Crackle, Fruit, Mirror.

First I placed four lovely pears on a mirror, I would normally
use three, but I broke the rule for this image.

I hung a piece of black fabric in the background and used natural
lighting from a side window.

I had to dodge the reflection of the pears in the mirror as they
were as bright as the real ones. A dark cracked porcelain image
was blended on to the original.

Paint brush was used to touch up the stems and a simplifer filter
was added to the entire image.
