Vase in a niche

I just love the effects of the oil paint filter. It gives everything a dreamy and soft look. On animals the fur looks fluffy and soft and silky too. Great image of a typical type of Greek shaped urn. It has warm tones in the red which compliment those in the rocks. I like the shaft of light coming through the opening which creates a great deal of atmosphere. Excellent framing and focus.

This is a great shot of the vase in the wall opening. Great detail in the vase and the rough stone. Good light. A great candidate for the contest. Good artist notes. Well done. Sam

    Thank you very much for the review. When I give somebody 4.5 I always come with suggestions about how the image can be improved, and what is not working. I am missing this in your review.

Stunning photo and the lighting really catches your eye, it's fantastic. The vase makes the photo more interesting and it's very creative. Your editing of this photo is beautiful, adding those beautiful lines and textures. Great composition, color and clarity. A stunning piece.

I sure like the light and texture. The light coming through the opening in the rocks has a strong initial impact. My small problem is I am not sure about the head of the vase. It seems to be almost out of focus. At any rate it does not seem clear. Maybe there is something not right with the eyes. But nevertheless all the best in the contest, John

    Thank you very much for the lovely review. I was a bit surprised by your comments though, because I knew the area you are talking about was sharp. I had a look at the original, and I was right, it was sharp. Having a second look at the upload, I could see what you were talking about. I have sharpened the area even more, and uploaded a new version.

Nice work!
I really do like the look of this one. I have the Topaz lens effects but don't use it very much. I need to use it more! Good luck!

A strong image and interesting study in lighting. The adjustments made lends itself to look like a painting which I thought it was at first. I like the use of another light source to fill in the shadows and give the vase and walls some added depth. Good composition and dof. Well done.
