I’m a secret Russian agent, oh wait it’s not a secret any more. No really, I was stuck for a decent title, I had “after the downpour” At first. Then I changed it to something I can’t remember. Anyway I often do this, I will punch into Google translate A word that describes the photo, I really can’t remember which word I typed in at this time. But I will go through all the different translations from Afrikaans to Swedish, to Hebrew, to Russian. I kind of like the word in Russian, so Russian it was!

Visually it throws me off a little, but that is what you were going for. Interesting composition.

I would love to see this in a portrait crop. The center is just magnificent, but there's just too much on the sides that distract from it.

Or perhaps lighter in the center and a graduated neutral density coming in from each of the sides?

Normally I assume that people have things just the way they want it. But this one just feels like it could be a stunning 10. But it's just feeling like a 7 now. Tantalizingly close to truly incredible.

a ribbon contender for sure . !!! ..
love the clean feeling i get from this .. and its not really about the soaps .. its your excellent photograph .. the lovely subtle hues and the way its all laid out .. the great background without any distractions ...
now i'd like one of those soaps .. i can almost smell them .. and its a particularly nice odour .. and i'm serious .. its called the power of suggestion .. !! ..:)
