Hey Shawn,
This is a beautiful picture the dof is just awesome, I can't get over it. This looks so much like a painting done with oil on canvas. The shadowing is great too. I do like your art so much. Thanks for the share Troy.

Great arrangement of very interesting objects. The colors you have achieved here are amazing--so brilliant. As a big fan of carnival glass, my favorite part is the vase --it looks so pretty with the flowers tumbling over the sides.

The spectrum of colors and the technique on display here is terrific.
However - and maybe this is just a matter of personal taste - but I'm straining to find the artistic purpose of taking a group of realistic objects of sentimental worth and then setting them afloat within a cold and strange abstract corridor without any further thread of obvious context or meaning. It is technically striking but not persuasive artistically, just in my humble opinion. Otherwise this is some impressive digital work and thanks for sharing.

The colors are so nice and rich. The clarity is excellent. The design on the vase just gives it away. Very beautiful work.

What a wonderful composition and the colours. Nicely done with the focus and the textures of this. The image is very lovely. Your technique has worked well for this.

Comment from Jessla
I like the flowers, the apple with the leaves and the gold object with pearls. However, I personally wouldn't have put the lamp in. For me, it competes with the lovely basket of flowers for attention. With the background fading from gradient to the blue pattern, the space where the lamp stands is a very nice open calming area to have. My eye and attention is left to focus on the wonderfulness of the basket of flowers. This is just an opinion. Good use of light and shadow as well as harmony of the colors.

I just love the colours in this work.All the objects are so different and yet they all seem to blend into one another.The picture makes you want to look into it to see if there is something hidden.

This is fantastic, such attention to detail in the bouquet! I love the oily kind of colouring to the vase, and the dark blue background. Great!

I love the colors in this one and the background the object are standing on, I think the two on the left need a reflection though.
