Absolutely beautiful still life artwork!

The details are so nicely presented in the dark setting, only the filtering light showing the details on the beans and coffee grinder.

The black and white is so suitable for this showcase. Good luck in the contest.

I like this still life work because it is so classical in its concept, execution, and atmosphere; The light and shadows, and composition have worked well. Good luck!

It's a deeply shadowed presentation but it's still a fine looking picture!
'Good Show',my friend!

Very nice still life, you attention to detail works nicely. Shadows and highlights create dimension to the grinder, beans and bag. Good luck in the contest. Ray

A good looking image posted here! Your fine and full composition grants us a good view of the grinder, beans and sack. My how times have changed! Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely taken!

Is this a drawing or photo? It much looks like a photo with great lowlight details and fine details of this still life scene. A great entry to the contest, best wishes.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


I like the lay out of the various elements within the composition.
in looking at the piece on various monitors, I do think that the piece is too dark, the background being more gray in tonal value would have brought the other components in the composition standout better.
As it is everything blends to much into the darker shades preventing it to highlight any of the components, like the beans or textures in the coffee grinder.
Thank you for allowing me review your artwork. I hope my comments were helpful,in helping you understand my rating of the drawing.
