Description
There's a long story attached to this shot. Please read. It's important.So here it goes.
Everything was calm. I took a pear out of the refregirator to take make a nice fruit picture as my good friend Francois Cote had done weeks ago (see his work : [link] ).
Then at the precise moment when I dropped the pear on the table something caught my attention. I felt a simple and gentle breeze on my cheek. Then I turned back to see if I let the window opened then I heard : **SNAP**, turned back again and then! DAMN! A ninja had cut my pear in to half.
I haven't seen a thing, I only heard the sound of the katana going through the juicy fruit. I'm not sure if you can see it on this picture, but it is CLEAR that the cut was made by a very sharp katana since the pear haven't even moved... And the cut is so clean. WHOA!
I'm lucky that he wasn't heading for my head.
Still I'm not sure why have he came my way... was this a warning from Francois not to try to make the same picture as him? Or maybe it's was a "ninjaesque" way to tell me that some people want to kill me? Or he was sent by the future to tell me that if I don't do anything, America will be torn appart by a second civil war (this is CLEARELY represent by the two part of the pear, top = north and bottom = south) the connections are all there... I just can't find what he meant...
Who knows... I'll have to be on my guards all time now.

It wasn't a katana...it was a ninja-to. Katana is curved blade...nija-to is straight...requires much moe skill.

I saw this ages ago while browsing the net in school (photography class, ironically). From the second I saw it I thought it was amazing.
The title just completes it. Watch out for ninjas. Gold.

correct exposure and photoshop to get rid of small details.

eek, wouldn't want that to be me
it's interesting how much it could relate to what is going on,
Although even without the current situations this would still be an excelent piece as evident by the DD closer to the time it was submitted.
Excelent work, the story gave me a laugh

Could be seen like that. It sure wasen't when I made this, but looking at it now, I'm starting to think I've got prophetic skills!

Hehe yeah! There was one deviant posting a comment about the coincidence of how the yellow pear could look like jark and the fact the ninja (reference to spyed) had slice it. And then I though at all the prophetic things I talk about when I post it here... kinda weird...
Glad it made it's way up to you. I'm not the kinda guy who will make a lot of noise around the latests event and make drawing and stuff just to get pageview and all, but I kinda hoped it would make it's way to you.
Good luck.
