you could make the pears exploding pears..........You can always get attention by adding contrast or complimentry colors....Just a thought, im not no scientist :)

actually, this is kind of interesting. the pears kind of seem to be more real than the background. maybe its because the rest of the pic is in blues, and then the pairs are yellowy-green. lol. cool ^_^.

Well if the pears were exploding, it wouldn't be too much of a still life, ne? But I agree, the foreground and the background color are quite a contrast. :) Nice work.

Some of the most famous and interesting paintings done by the old masters are still-life. Nothing boring about this. Realism is very difficult to do and this is great work. Keep it up!
