Just playing around in Photoshop with this teapot still life and ever did anything with it but I like it and thought I would share. Idea came from an still life image I saw on 1X a while back that had a texture overlay. I used SEP4 pinhole affect with slight adjustment.

love your silence!

(I'd go as far as try to crop the darker half of the teapot)

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

When used right grain can add to the mood and feel of a piece. It does that effectively here. The lighting illuminates the main subjects of the grapes and the teapot put only so much and in some areas blows the highlights and shape definition of the teapot. But it works here. It works in conjunction with the grain. The reason is that I get the vision that this is early morning; the sun is streaming through the window bathing objects that face it in a soft light; dropping off to shadow where the light cannot reach. I awake wiping the sleep from my eyes as the morning light greets me and temporarily hazes my vision. Very well done.
