An interesting initial impact. Impressive capture! Harmonious colors.
Good perspective & long depth of field... Excellent lighting, focusing & framing. Thanks for sharing...
Have you seen my Antique Wine Chiller? It looks like this green bottle but a bit complicated.

Very good still life. The greenish cast on the concrete wall seems to blend well with the bottle and frog sculpture. Nicely done.

Enjoy it I love it the sun on the bottle makes for a lovely shade of green, the frog speaks for its self a comical little ornament.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


The colors and the subjects in the shot are definitely made for the green contest.

The focus is good, the light good, I do think however that the composition is very plain. The two items and how they are positioned in the framed split the image in half. The compositional elements, the frog & bottle look disconnected.

A third element/component that would have tried them together is needed, and even a different angle. Maybe overlapping or adding a piece of folded or winkled green patterned cloth.

It definitely in need of something that will unite the elements you have into a complete flowing composition.

    Thanks for the review. I was wondering if the background might detract from the shot because of the lines in the shingles.
Comment from Anne


This is a neat combination for a picture. I like the bottle and the frog. You may not want my suggestions but If you want to make this a better photograph with the two neat things in it, you want them to have a relationship together not just sitting there by there lonesome. The shadow is even in a straight line with the two of them. You need some variety in the way they are set up. Placing one a little to the side, maybe one a little in front of the other, turning the frog on his side, seeing that the shadow angel changes are all little ways to make the picture more interesting. You have some great greens just need to add the interest. Might even throw in a few of those green stones from or a few rocks so everything is not so flat.
