The glowing cattail has a strong initial impact. The colors are striking and attract attention. The picture holds one's interest. It has much storyhtelling ability,

Comment from Look Beyond The Lens


Initial Impression: excellent still life full of light and color
Color harmony: great use of earth tones
Creativity Of Presentation: excellent composition and staging
Technical Excellence: good DOF, but the parts are not as sharp as they could be
Technique: well thought out and executed
Lighting: Interesting as it seems to be coming from everywhere. I see light where indicated, not realistic, but it works wonderfully. However, the shadows are not there to follow it up.
Story telling abiity is good.

    Thank you so very much for the in-depth review and excellent rating, LB. Your points would be well taken if I was painting reality. With the cattails and pot "glowing" maybe you could call this one fantasy or sci-fi. Again, thank you! I really appreciate it. :)

The cattails glow as if from the inside out. So does the vase. Nice idea. I'm not sure I like the background. I like the colors but the lines and shape the have are a little confusing behind the cattails but that could be just me. Somehow I have the feel as if the background turned 90 or maybe even 180 would look better.
Much luck for the contest.

An awesome work of art. The glow in the colors is stunning. I like the way you did the different shades of red and then going to the dark in the background. The vase is fantastic with the highlights and lighting in it, The way you have the texture in the table is excellent, Just a very creative, interesting, beautiful and excellent work of art. Good luck in the contest.
