Well Pour me a cup and pass me a chocolate chip cookie please!
I think I would bring my own cup because a set over 90 years old puts more pressure on holding the cup and less enjoyment on my favorite beverage. ;)
I love the Elegant look of this on the antique silver tray. The soft lighting, the single red rose, the cookies and placement of each item is inviting.
I like the vintage set and the sentimental value it represents to you.
I Have an old soul and am drawn to things of yesterday rather than today.
Fine still life..Best of luck in the contest.
=)

A very crisp peaceful photograph. Nice lighting and a very nice still life picture. It does look appealing and appetizing. The leaves of the rose could be brightened up because on the web page here detail in the leaves is lost.

I like this work because it is so classical in its concept and execution and in its atmosphere; The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

Comment from Natalia Leigh


Elegant old times still make me miss the real romantism of casual things. Always attractive as compare with contemporary ugly mugs. The red rose attract the attention and telling the story. Great choice of colors. Thanks for sharing.

A very nicely composed still life. The colors are excellent and the detail in the china is outstanding. I like the rather formal look of the wall paper in the background. Best of luck in the contest.

I love your title! This is a beautiful coffee set, I love the way you have placed the pieces on the silver tray and the Rose adds an elagant look, like you are about to serve coffee to an important guest. Well focused allowing a clear view, well exposed with the lighting supporting the vintage feel. Very well presented and best to you in the contest!

I cannot recall a still life photo that bespeaks civility as well and as sublimely as this piece.

The fine subdued lighting is understating but it makes the scene all the more eye appealing - fine cultured eye candy.

The color and tonal range is wide and harmonious. The contrast between the central subject and the background contributes nicely to the overall effect.

This should do very well in the contest ... B-)) Bob
