Beautiful set up, use of light, sharp focus, dreamy soft background with fractal like light rays and fine crisp details.
Your style stands out here Cara.
Only you can make a cucumber and herbs wall hanging worthy.
Well done!
:)

Comment from Envision


This looks so delicious! And green :) I really like how you used the veg to create those upward streaks of color that resemble rays of light. The cucumber and herbs have wonderfully sharp detail. The earthy brown tones compliment the other colors nicely.

This image is very well done. A lot of imagination must have gone into this work of art. The soft lighting which is directed onto the subject creates that mysterious look that you just can't seem to take your eyes off it. Thanks for sharing.

hmmmm...this has a creative blend of colors and images..such creativity of balancing the background with the POV..it as a certain AV quality to it..evil grin..the clarity is excellent. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of this greenery is excellent. has strong initial impact that grabs the viewers eye. the creation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. creative and awesome work overall(clapping)

Comment from cleo85


This is an unusual composition in my opinion. The subjects and how they are arranged is surprising. We see vegetables and herbs in food advertisements, but artful still leif's of them are seldom. The composition reminds a bit of chiaroscuro paintings of the past, but the sophisticated light is contemporary and modern.
There are three subjects, Cucumber, Mint and Parsley. Three is always a pleasant number. I like that your POV is on the decorative carved cucumber slice which seem the reflect the light from the rays in the background. The limitation of color is intriguing. The composition excellently balanced and framed.
