Hi Jade, thanks for the critique. I really appreciate it.
Here is how I made the shot.
First I put a piece of tape (which can stick on both sides) on the desk and put the lamp on it so it wouldn't fall.
Then I lit it with a flashlight so it's shadow fell on the desk. If you get thhe right angle with the flashlight it can look like a pear.
Then I shot an apple stem and leaf seperately. After that, using Photoshop I cut them out, desaturated and blended that layer with the original image.
I think you can do that too. It's pretty easy. You may just need someone to hold the flashlight. Take care...
