Fabulous!! This image looks like you spent all day getting this shot. The lighting is wonderful and the placement of the vases and the little pieces of flowers are perfect. Thanks to your wife for the use of her kitchen! Good Luck

    Thank you Cari. Yep, it took a few hours, quietly stealing things from the garden, setting them up,messing with lighting and trying to get it all done before dinner. Much appreciated, thanks again.

You must be a good studio photographer to only take around 20 photos to get this enjoyable final image! Your fine composition speaks of the eternal cycle of nature. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

    Thank you nikman. Actually I'm not that good a studio photographer, not even in the kitchen :-)

Comment from Linda Wetzel


I like this vignette. It creates the look of trees bending low over a still waterway. I like the reflections upon the plastic bag as it creates that watery effect. A very clever entry for the contest.

    Thanks Linda, I never thought of trees bending over water before, but, yes I suppose it does look a little like that. Thanks again.

So did you give the kitchen back to her? Nice capture and a good entry for the contest. This really looks good in black and white. Good composition, framing, focus and dof. So, welcome to the site and keep em coming. Thanks for sharing.

I really like this, it's simple yet effective, I like the two vases and the way you arranged the flowers in them and the loose petals on the table. This is well photographed with good focus, the image is clear, lighting is well controlled , I like the black and white . Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!
