WOW, what an amazingly deep and dark photograph. Great balance of light and shadow. With lots of tone and texture. Without the title I don't think I see Morning but an awesome pic 8. Best of luck. Scott

Fruits & Vegetables

Comment by tnun:
Lovely arrangement and light. No mean accomplishment considering the number of fruits/vegetables which have significant tops/stems and bottoms AND having the light do justice to both these features and the textures overall. (Enjoyed your description of getting the natural light right - I prefer natural light and have done a few similar things but not with your thoroughness nor indeed your result). It is just possible that a slight shift in hue from blue to yellow would give this the classic feel that your assemblage suggests. Oh, and I don't notice the dust, but that might be my own survival tactic.

it's just as well too as I'd want to have 29,600 practice shaves before I contemplate using that razor ;-)

The detail on his hands is excellent.
