I love that you did a still life image. These are not as popular at the moment. I love the lighting on the fruit and dishes. Not so fond of the hot spot on the cotton 'rag' I feel that fabric should be a more sensual fabric.
The background has some great textures but the seam lines draw my eye. The colors of the image is great, but I would perfer to see the tapestry on the background and a deep rich wood tone or marble surface. The styles of the dishes is a hodgepodge. The pitcher has an aztec feel, the vase is oriental in nature and the plate (from this angle) looks like a french. I would like the dishes to be more along the same styling. I also love the unopened flowers in the vase. they have some great shape and color. They lend some hight to the left side, which is good. The formation of the fruit brings your eye down at an angle, that is also good. The pitcher though adds height to the right side. That is distressful to the flow of the image. I would prefer the pitcher in the left side forming a diagonal line visually.

Just my opinion and possibly some pointers. Great job on the shot!

More Vermeer than Degas or Renoir but a very nice composition. 6

Beautiful, very classic feeling to it. Not sure it is "impressionism" but I won't take off points for that. I wish it weren't so centered though, I think that takes it down a few notches. But I absolutely love the setup and the tones and the softness of it while still staying sharp and defined.

I see more Rembrandt inspired in this image than impressionism. Still it is a terrific photo. Nice still life photo with dramatic lighting. Highly rated.

This is not impressionism.

you captured a beautiful still life. the only thing I am missing is the technique shown that makes impressionism so unique: elimination of details, brush strokes, hiding, not showing the details. You did show well the intaction of shadows and lights.
