Hi Colleen- it does not look muddied to me. This pear has a lot of personality! The colors are very pleasingly bright and crisp and the texture looks great! The aspect that bothers me are the highlights. Instead of a series of white dots I would expect to see some lighter toning surrounding the current dots of white. I would also add a little color to the white areas to tone them down. I think making those changes to the highlights will help integrate them rather than stand out so much. Nice job!
Another go at the pear. It’s very light in real life and I’m trying to keep that here but it’s tough not to feel like it’s getting muddied
