Pear Slices

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted January 5, 2012176 views5 comments

This image is another in my series of "scanner art" ... fresh pear slices were placed on the glass bed of my scanner and scanned into a .tiff file. To add this painterly look, I processed the image in Alien Skin Snap Art using the Impasto setting.

Thoughts and comments are always appreciated.

Interesting image. I really like the blocked up colors, but am less sure about the static arrangement although, sadly, I can't offer any suggestions, especially since you're using a scanner. Nice job.

Thanks to everyone for taking a look and your comments. I find that some subjects require this painterly look and other subjects are perfect just the way the scanner sees them. It's a challenge to find the right balance of colors, shapes and composition, but then that's true even when you use a camera. I'll be doing more work with the scanner and to test my artistic capabilities. Thanks again everyone. I so much appreciate your comments and your time.
