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.

this reminds me so much of kill bill. it's so harsh, treacherous, but still with a sense of humor. it's like showing the beauty and punctiliousness of killing.
wonderful shot, crisp, clean, with good lighting!

I like your story a lot, and everything about the photo, that includes the title, color of the pear, background (white) and the shodow etc.
is it OK if i ask you a question, well how long did it take you to read all the comments?

First, thanks.
Second, well I haven't finish reading them yet. Since I try to answer everyone (or at least say thanks), it takes me a lot of time. I think i've read half of them since I had the DD so this makes like 4 days. BUT I'm not to often on DA so it explain a bit the time I take

The font is Trajan Pro. I guess it's a default font commin' with Windows or an Adobe program because I formatted my PC a month ago and haven't reinstalled any font yet.

Ninjas seem to make anything better. Even a pear. Er, 'course, I'm sure they were really just trying to warn you of impending doom, not make cool pear-art. But still.
