Comment from Kurt Fondriest
Like the plates creating an entire composition. It enables the object to become more abstract. I would have liked the entire frame of reference filled with the plates so it wasn't so obvious they are plates. I think the circular pattern would have given the viewer the wow moment when they realized what these patterns were. Very vivid in color and movement. Very intriguing patterns.

This really is a very colourful display of plates, may be for decorative purposes! Good capture! The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Comment from Kathy Banich
Colorful indeed! The image stirs curiosity and intrigue as the viewer comes to grips with the array of repeating shapes that represent bright colors with artsy designs. The tight frame holds the viewers interest and allows them to focus and give recognition to each plate. Well done Fred.

Reminds me of when I have been to turkey and have bought hand made plates there,difficult to know what else you could have done with this and it is colorfull,maybe a bigger photo of more plates or maybe just a couple of plates,but a good reminder of a holiday..Brian

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
Methinks these beautifully coloured & patterned plates deserve more than your first reviewer gave you. They would brighten any table they were laid upon. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting that shows the colours & patterns to best advantage. Taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan
