Concept is good and I like the comp overall...perhaps a smidge on the dark side, but I think that's the approach you took intentionally. Overall, this is a little better than average. Gave it a 7 first time thru when voting...coming back around to comment. Good luck in the challenge.

Une Nature Morte avec Fruits, Pains et Fleurs

Comment:
At first glance this feels like two photos merged together; bright, comtemporary type of image on the left, and a more traditional, subtly lit classic style on the right. The background even seems split (even though it's obviously one piece). Interesting.

Very nice tones, and lighting. Well done.

Harvest Time

Wonderful classic composition here. Lovely lighting...just right. How long did it take to keep those stacked apples in place? :-)

Not quite sure what you did in post-processing, but this doesn't really look like a photo anymore.

Afternoon Tea

I like the reflections, especially on the background. I know you left the extra lower space for the full reflection of the cup, but it seems like this would be more balanced with the cup closer to the bottom of the photo. Just an observation... Fruit wise...that's a very small bit of fruit. Good luck with that. :-)

An Apple a Day Lights the Way.

Points for being clever for sure. Overall, nice control of lighting. BTW - what does one do for the 7th day...there's only 6 apples. :-)

Hmmm. I'm having a hard time finding anything over the top positive, nor can I find anything that seems really out of place on the down side. A solid middle level entry then I guess, eh? :-) Good luck in the challenge.

Still life with pots and fruit

Hi Michelle. :-) If I didn't guess right, then pardon my intrusion. :-) I like the arrangement of this still life quite a bit. The grain works fine and goes well with the leaves, table covering and background. The rest of the post-processing treatment has given this a painterly feel, which is fun overall. Certainly an "artistic" approach to this challenge. Good luck!
