Greetings from the Critique Club!
I concur with all of the positive statements below--even my own!
This is a marvelous image, and I feel lucky to have gotten it to critique. The positive things that pop out are the wonderful lighting, that illuminates the pear very clearly, but which also adds drama to the photo and depth to the fruit. The black background isolates the fruit, so it gets the focus. It adds a sense of mystique, too.
The composition is marvelous. Your Health can be seen in this pear as it is positioned; the off center composition implies that this is only a part of the whole picture, and health is a big picture! The water on the fruit aids in making it look inviting and refreshing, and I'm glad you chose a healthy looking pear!
To improve the shot I would . . . Hmmm. I can't think of anything to improve the shot. it is clear, refreshing, inviting, and makes me want to open the magazine. Some below have mentioned the black background being "doom" filled. I disagree, but you may want to think about having a white background or some other color and experiment to see what moods and feelings they evoke.
Again, wonderful shot; I'm glad it did well. Best of luck to you in future challenges!

| Unusual image yet very ordinary subject. Has quite a strong 'ambience' to it for a shot of half a pear! 8 |

| Very cool picture. A little too dark and ominous though. I don't want to see such a doom-filled picture on that magazine unless it is about something unhealthy. Please don't tell me pears are evil and unhealthy now. |
