The rose does look a bit soft, but to me, it's sort of adds a romantic touch. I am in awe of your creation of natural shadows. Really nice colors and you carried through with them into the curtains, which is just a great finishing touch. Even the detail in your spoon is amazing! DonkeyOatey

Thank you, DonQ, for the excellent review regardless of the blooper, LOL. I think I fixed it now. I just took the rose out. FAR really downsizes them, don't they. I don't know how it works on photos, but it sure doesn't help digital art any. Again, thanks a million :)shawn

Comment from taylortia

glad you added some yellow to the strawberries.
it has a nice effect on the overall piece,

Thank you, Sue! And thank you for the excellent rating regardless of the wilted rose :)shawn

Comment from Pentax2012
Great attention to detail; the shading on the side of the cup made me think it was a photograph at first. Too bad about the rose rendering fuzzy in the translation, because that's the only detraction from the entire picture. Great work!

Comment from osbornefishin
I do agree the rose is a bit distorted; however, this piece makes me jealous. I am decent behind a camera, but creating such a work from scratch takes true talent. Excellent work.
