Comment by ubique:
This is a lovely, thoughtful photograph. It has a lot more to offer than at first appears ... life, growth, decay, neglect; all that stuff and probably more. And it's quiet, too; nothing gimmicky, obvious or flashy about it. That gives it the durability and timelessness that any genuine Still Life ought to have. 8.

I think this is a beautiful picture. I would hang a picture like this on my wall. I think your color choice did justice to the wonderful chipped paint

Comment by e301:
For an image that depends on a subtle graduation of light and shade, your border is extrordinarily imposing and clunky; your handling of the highlights of this image doesn't seem to be in your control either - and the broad white band of that border just adds proof to the sense that you've taken the highlights too far and lost all sense of detail. Compositionally, it might well have worked extremely well, but it shows evidence of not understanding whay exposure was required and controlling that in post-processing. You have, nevertheless, achieved a strong sense of heat, which might have stoof the image in good stead if the subject demanded it - but a still life - I can't see how this feeling of out-of-control exposure sits with the image you're presenting. Shows a strong sense fo composition, spatially, also.

A good attempt, I'd say; but needing more expertise to be brought to bear.

I find myself enjoying the wall so much that I'd like to move the shadow so I could see the rest...

I like the 'grunge'feel to this photo and the simple shadow of the flower and bottle.. 9
