I so admire your luxurious looking combination floral and jewelry focused photography, effectively highlighted against the dark foliage-like background. Your photograph here also would make an ideal addition to an Alphabets Picture Book- showcasing the Letter P- for Pearls, Petals, and the Pitcher.
Congratulations on being the Still Life-Photography Contest Winner.

What a great combination of the pearls and white rose in a beautiful pitcher.

Excellent colors, details and traditional black background.
Stunning and so elaborate still life photograph.

Great composition. I wish you best of luck in the voting.

Love how you arranged this! The roses and the beads along with the pitcher make a very interesting still life. Love the reflective surface you placed them on too! The presentation is wonderful with very nice lighting! Sorry I don't have a six for you! Good Luck in the contest! :o) helvi

Love the black background and the reflection. Lighting is really nice and I love your choices with the different shades of brown for the pearls.

Colours all flow nicely with this look. Very impressive.

Your still life is charming. The roses are beautiful, even in stages decomposition. Your arrangement seems a symbol for: Getting Old in Beauty". The photo has good depth and is perfect focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. I enjoy the refinement of detail and textures and the realism of color. The reflections at the jewellery and at the surface below are interesting. The still life is expertly composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Comment from Ray Gordon


A very nicely presented still life with this old friend of a seasoned water pitcher, scattered beads and beautiful flowers arranged in a purposed disorderly fashion only to be adorned by a beautiful reflection in a highly polished table top. You have done a spectacular job and you have shared it with me. Good luck in the contest. Ray

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of the various items on display. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!
