Wonderful; looks like a painting !!

Thanks Jaap............much appreciated.

A lovely image Keith I'm not big into processing but could you use the burn brush to subdue the reflection, you could experiment with a card to reduce the light reaching the bottle, enjoy your day

Thanks for commenting Peter and I'm glad you like the image. Thanks also for the suggestions which I have noted for next time I try something like this.

A beautiful stillife, Keith ! Also the colors are very nice and fitting !

Thanks very much Ulrich..........always appreciated.

Wow,das hast du wieder wunderbar umgesetzt lieber Keith,beim ersten Anblick dachte ich ein schönes Wandbild hast du fotografiert,da hast du den perfekten Hintergrund ausgesucht für diese tolle Darstellung :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Many thanks Güni............I'm please you enjoyed this one. Such lovely comments.

I like too much the tones and composition, Keith.
Reflections... I like it and it doesn't detract from the set

You're very kind as always Judite............thank you.

You chose a beautiful background colour for this shot, and the addition of the texture and slight vignette works really well. I like the reflections on the bottle personally Keith and the seed heads are gorgeous! I have some lying in the wet along the path, so good to see that you rescued yours from the dreary weather.

Another very successful still life :-)

Thank you Rosa...........I have lots of sheets of different coloured card and they're very handy for backgrounds indoors (and sometimes outside). Adding a texture is pretty easy to do (I have a lot of pre-sets with my software) and it's fun to play around with different effects!

I'm really pleased you like this one (including the reflections). I picked the seed heads around a week ago and they've been indoors drying out.

It was confirmed on our local news this morning that July was one of the wettest on record for southern England, and that August is not expected to be much better.

We deserve a good autumn Keith, so I'm looking forward to that. I wish the rain would stop, but I couldn't cope with the extremely high temperatures of southern Europe.

Simple decoration and fine photo too, specially enhanced by the red wall.

Work of art love the background texture
