I'm really jealous of people who can create images like this. The color is outstanding! I think the colors are what really sets this off, and of course the textured background really adds a plus to this work. It's simple, but it works! Excellent job!

I'm sorry I don't have a six because this truly deserves it. The colours glow with energy in the fruit, the orchid is beautifully done, the background shimmers like textured copper. This is the work of someone very talented.

The colors of this work is just amazing!! I love the way you have really captured that folk art kind of feel! I love the flowers at the top of the vase, I know it isn't called a vase, but that is all I could come up with!

I love the fruit there on the right of the vase, and the melt of colors for the background!

You have done a wonderful job here!

Great work!

Thank you, jamber! And thank you for the excellent rating. You were correct. To me this is just a long-stemmed rose vase. If there is a fancier name, I don't know it either. :)

Love the design and detail. Colors are so warm and inviting that it stops a person and demands its share of attention. Lovely capture and so delicately comes to life. This is a beauty. Sue

Hello, Catarina. Thank you so much for the special review!! So glad you like this.

Comment from jjh2
I really like this... I love the warm colors... and I love how "plain" it is... a picture of peace and solitude.. and then the name seems to sum it up and give it that warm and subtle tone... good job, thanks for sharing.. God bless...

Thank you again, JJ. Maybe I should have some of these colors in the other one :) Thank you for the excellent review.

Comment from BingoStar
This is a very nice piece. The colors are bright but yet darker in the background making everything stand out and be right up front for all to see. great lighting nice images with a warm feeling to them. Great creation
