Really funny! Thats really cool! I like how you were able to capture that picture. Very original, I wouldn't have seen that! Most of my friends get pictures like these, and it looks like nothing they said it was. This is different! It actually looks like a pear! How to you get the stem and the leaf on the shadow? Also, how did you get the light bulb to stand up straight if they are round? I wouldn't be able to do anything like this. I think it deserves these comments:
Very original, very good technique, and a very amazing vision!

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...
