Boulevard of Java Dreams (ala Gottfriend Helnwein)

Comment:
Ala Gottfried Helnwein? Try Edward Hopper. Helnwein did a painting that IMO, completely ripped off the original masterpiece known as "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper...look here to see what I am talking about...enough of the art history lesson. About the image...ya did good! I immediately thought of "Nighthawks" when I saw this...{BTW "Nighthawks" is my ALL TIME favorite painting ever...I used to go to the Art Institure and just ponder it for lengthy amounts of time..so I'm strange, perhaps thats why I'm slighty offended you have given credit to Helnwein.} Anyway, I do like this image alot, the warmth of the indoor light contrasted against the cold light outdoors, then again I am biased in a sense. My only "dislikes", and these are only my opinions, really are the Strabucks sign...kinda makes this seem a bit like, well...an advert. for Starbucks IMO...perhaps try one where you have cloned that sucker out? Also, the image seems a tad overboard with it use of some sort of noise reduction/smoothing? It seems that there should be a bit more texture/definition happening with the brick and the utility pole...esp. when compared to that crispy Starbucks sign. Other than that I think this is super nice.

Post PM: I'm glad to see you know the original...but knowing what I know now...it's kind of a silly reason (IMO) to use the Helnwein shout out just for the sake of the title..."Boulevard of Java Dreams" would have been just fine on it's own...AND...you wouldn't have been subjected to this insanely long comment !

Aphrodisiacs with Lemon

I honestly had a bit of a difficult time telling those were oysters...it was actually more of an educated guess really...perhaps a deeper field of focus would have been more effective in this case? More than anything the lemon wedges grab my attention...not the oysters.

I think it would be interesting to this the same image but instead of placing the vase on the curtain, have it behind? I really like scenes like this, looking at them and making pictures of them...so calm and serene. I like this very much, very elegant and simple.
