This is quite lovely and I'm not at all surprised to learn it took home best of show in a print competition as well as the blue ribbon in the challenge. Great set-up, textures and tones, Mark. Congratulations.

I am guessing that this brilliant Yellow Still Life is the reason that I'm being tortured with the Yellow Still Life challenge that's current.

I blame you. And congratulate you.

This is brilliant.

Great work recently, seems to just get better and better! This is no exception, I get lost staring at the shadows of gold in the seamless background. Congrats.

Gray subjects for a still life. The colors and lines are dramatic.

Out of all the photographs in this challenge this has to be my favorite. Sticking with the challenge theme you pulled off a very nice toned photograph with texture, shapes, and lighting that is very interesting. I pick this for the blue and give a 10. Good luck in the challenge.

Love it. The pov is a tiny bit too high for me, and I would have cropped it VERY tight - to fill the frame - but this is stellar.

I liked this from the beginning and gave you an 8, but I've come back to bump your score because it appeals to me more and more. So, 9.

I think the placement of the objects really works well and they compliment each other, it is a very bold shot, taken well and I love the hardness of it. I have just started selecting my personal top 3, congrats on 2nd
