Food Photo Competition 2014 No 4 : Entry Number 49

Judges Comment

This is a beautiful minimal approach and reminds me of an entry a round or two ago. (It maybe wasn’t yours). The tones are beautiful and isolating the pear is a clever idea but making that into a strong subject is complicated and you have done well. Perhaps a slightly longer depth of field, bringing the focus a little further down the pear would have made this easier to gaze at.

Photographers Comment

First, thank you for the Mark of Excellence - very exciting! My name is Shawna Miller and I am a graphic designer/photographer/artist based in the New Jersey/New York area. This pear is from a series I did of a "dying" pear. This was #4 in a series of 10. This particular shot was created with natural light - captured with a Canon 40D using a 50mm Canon lens - which is how such a shallow depth of field was achieved. Thank you, again!
