Eye-catching it is this photograph. I like the way that it first appears as a pear, but then you start better looking to see if it it's truly so. And it is. I would like to have it in higher resolution as you want to look close at the details.
Also nice to see it in B&W, makes it more surreal. I'm wondering if I miss some shadows, the light is very soft now. Would like to see another version, but perhaps you've already done that.
I also wonder if the picture would improve if the background had some colour, giving a bit of contrast between the object and its background.
Still, a very nice picture.

Thank you!
It's a shot of a 2mm thin slice of a pear, layed on a glass and lighted from below, that's why the soft light and almost none shadows

Mmm have seen something quite similar on Β (it was a half apple) but can't find it now.
Well, give the link to another piece

Well done. As if the fruit made a print on paper.

It's art, and I can see several meanings...but the first thing I thought of was a pear

I showed this to my boyfriend and asked him what it was and he said, "Is it s vagina?"
Ah, this is too well done.

This really looks like a photo lithograph/ possibly intaglio print, (props to you :] ) I love how it fades towards the top and how the image itself fools the eye. The texture within the shape is beautiful too.

"Even though you're saying no, your pit is already wet, isn't it?"
And then Japan outlawed pears in comics as a decency thing.

I literally thought the exact same thing and thought I was going to get some cool facts about what kind of cell it was.
Ah well, scholarly minds think alike, I suppose.

This pear is practically a rorschach test. OH NATURE, YOU CRAZY.

People keep saying it looks like a vagina.... I'm a self-admitted perv, but the first and only thing I see when I see this photo is a pear. *shrugs* Its a very neat photo, almost looks like a stamp or a super thin slice of the fruit on backlit glass or something. Congrats on the DD

XD the comments were interesting to read. Definitely thought it was a vagina at first sight. Never would've guessed it was a pear.

why didn't you just tell us in the artist comments what it is? i wouldn't have known it was a pear if i hadn't read it in the comments, other people are saying it. it looked sort of pear-shaped but it could have been anything really, i had no idea what it was because you didn't bother telling us.
oh but it's a pear that looks like a vagina or something wow
um okay that's... interesting i guess?
(lol my pet peeve is when artists post interesting art w/o explaining what it is)

This is under the category of "Abstract" so it can have many interpretations

Not all art should be explained. Much in art is left up to the viewer to interpret

sorry but what you just said has always been a pet peeve of mine. ^__^U because, i don't want to be the one to figure out and interpret the art, i want the artist to communicate a message to me and i don't like when that message is unclear. but i know some people think otherwise...

Ahkahna In reply to Sachi-pon [2012-10-19 23:22:13 +0000 UTC]
Using "-i-" means it's a personal opinion of yours, yes. Others will feel otherwise and I am one of those who like to use their imaginations to figure something out and not be spoon fed. I realize my comment may read as negative, but believe me when I say it is not meant that way.

DominikKucera In reply to Sachi-pon [2012-10-19 12:08:23 +0000 UTC]
Well I guess I'm the otherwise-thinker, because the way I communicate the message to you is the art itself. Take a look at the photo and consider: it's definitely a pear, no doubt. But, on the other hand, the title "intimate" makes you doubt: "and what if it's not a pear?"
And, secondly, I didn't bother telling you what is it, for I simply wanted you all to think about it! I wanted to come up with a little controversy and watch you all to think and debate and comment and argue and you did it, you all did it so well. Thank you
