A beautiful still like, like the edit, bg, good frame and exposure, worthy of a frame and posting on your wall. Very well done. A colorful creation.

Comment from Art images by lois
Beautiful and very artistic. Nice colors, subject and center of interest. I like the light source and the darkened background. The impact of the flower is great. Everything works well together. Good composition.

Comment from Catherine1970
This has an antique feel to it..A simple time..Country..Homey.
It's amazing what can be made with the electronics we have today..I have YET to make something with digital painting..Wouldn't know where to start anyway..;)
this is just lovely..Love the red of the poppies..The wilting of the smaller one.
Nice shadows added for depth.
Like the additional string of pearls..Goes well with the polka dots..
Thanks for sharing!

Comment from youthmodeling
Nice painting. Was this done by hand or computer? Either way it is a really nice piece of work, and the texture is great. I think you will get over 5 stars here, it is a really great piece of work

Thank you ever so much for the wonderful review and rating, YM. Both are deeply appreciated, and WELCOME to FAR!! In answer to your question; it's a digital painting. 2D, meaning not with a 3D program. Again, thank you!! :)shawn

Comment from ~Ovais~
Ham, interesting ... and .. seems to be some hidden messages in the image. something religious in the background and some thing vulgar in the center top

Oh my goodness, MO. There is nothing here religious, vulgar, etc. There is a vase, pearls, a ladder to the attic, a book to read, and of course, the poppies and poppy buds. One poppy bud is starting to bloom. Thank you for your comments. Sorry to say, not much appreciated.

Comment from marieann green
Popping, poppies indeed. Great technique used in creating this image.
Colors and composition are both excellent.

The colors are amazing. I like the pinks and the reflective look as well. These are very beautiful flowers. Excellent digital art!

Comment from ramonafrances
This has a classic "look & feel" to it. Like the antique looking vase. I am ambivalent about the background. It appears coarse and dark compared to the fragile subject.

Comment from DavidKaz
This is a very nice piece. It has great color variation and flows very well with the pixilated background. I wish it had more shadows on the ground from the vase. The handels are very well done. Great lighting qualities on the vase and flowers. Very nice.

Oh shoot, LOL. Well, back to the drawing board--but later, I've got too much work to do--invoicing, etc. Thank you, David, and thank you for the tip and not docking me for it. :)shawn
