I was going to take a break from commenting as I gallivant all over the world, and then you post this wonderful Dutch masters photo. Everything about it is perfect, including the composition in the first place. My favourite of all my favourites amongst photos of yours, and so different from those delicate poppies.
Forgive me for only the occasional “like” over the next week – maybe six weeks if the connection is unbearably slow at my daughter’s (the Australian one this time)
Hoho…sorry to distract you! Glad you like this, I’m a bit ambivalent about it. And we may have Cybele to thank/blame as she got me thinking about darker images…..
Ambivalent? My first comment and I want to write a critique about this most interesting image! LOL.
Please forgive…perhaps some more light as backdrop, gently, softly, and to the left behind the coffee pot, could round out this still life. Try again, perhaps? Best, :O)
PS: Have you heard of Harold Ross, who sculpts with light. Here are some links that may inspire you:

Website: http://www.haroldrossfineart.com/
Thanks for the thoughts! I intend to try more of these when I have the time and inspiration. And I looked up the link – fantastic!
Phew…thank goodness I didn’t alienate you! And I’m glad you think Harold’s work is fantastic too! :O)
Great to have a constructive comment – I’m new at this particular genre, and it’s useful to have someone point out possible improvements (I got the feeling you quite liked my clumsy attempt!)
oohh…didn’t I Like it!!
Fab! I’m following your site, but can’t comment on images?? 😳
Thanks for the Follow. The only way you can comment is via Liking or in the Guestbook! Best, :O)
Couldn’t even see a way of ‘liking’….so you’ll just have to have me as a ghost follower, Janina 😳
ha ha…well, you need to click onto the post title in my “Play” blog — janina1.me/play. Good luck! ;O)
As for Following, just look at the black navigation bar at the top of your webpage when you are signed in…see that +Follow next to the Reader link?
Oh, I have already followed you….it was just the likes I had a problem with
Thanks for the Follow. The Likes…you mean the ones others have already liked, which you didn’t like perhaps!! ;O)
No!! Trying to find the button on your site…but it comes up in my WP Reader, so job done!
Oh, I see…it should be there! Perhaps everyone else is Liking via the Reader too! I’ll check it out when I’m signed out. Thanks for the heads up, Sue! ;O)
🙂
Once again, the feel of an ‘Old Master’ painting. Brilliant.
Best wishes, Pete.
Many thanks, Pete, that’s what I was aiming for!
I really like this, love the lighting, something I want to do at some stage.
Thanks, Leanne – this was just side lit from a window….. And then a bit of post processing adjustment…
Wonderful use of chiarascuro Sue
Thank you!
It really is like Dutch master’s photo, Sue, and so well done! I don’t think I’ve seen a similar type of photo. Now if you would have just added a dead chicken and some fruit… 🙂
janet
Fruit, fine…but don’t think I can lay my hands on an unplucked dead bird with head still on!! 😀
I’m not ambivalent but was moved to say how moving this still life is.
Thanks, Laura! 🙂
Excellent lighting!
Thanks, Robert! Side light from a window…. Nothing else, other than a bit of post processing
Good does not have to be complex…
Agreed! And I prefer to use natural light where I can!
Beautifully lit, Sue. I think it is daylight. I think I see a window reflected in the jar. Beautiful still life photo!
Thanks, Paula! And yes, it is daylight – gloomy daylight! Hardly summery daylight….
and that’s why the light on your objects is so soft.
Exactly!
Such a lovely image, Sue. I has a wonderful glow. 🙂
Thanks, Sylvia – I was pleasEd with this, but not too sure what others would think, as it is rather dark!
That’s very nice, makes me think of Game of Thrones! Seems a great visual for a story or cover. 🙂 Good job.
Glad you like it! I am unfamiliar with Game of Thrones, so couldn’t comment
Of course! No problem, I meant it as a compliment. 🙂
Oh, I was sure you did! 😀
It reminds me of paintings I’ve seen as well, impressive Sue!
I really like low key photography Sue. This is a lovely example!
Thanks, Adrian….I’m only just beginning to get the hang of this!
Intriguing atmosphere Sue !
Thanks, Poppy! I’m getting into this low-key lark! 😀
Wow!!
Superb photography! I like the composition, the light, everything is great. 🙂
Thanks, Cosme – I’m trying to get the hang of low key, and judging by the comments I’m getting I must be doing something right! 🙂
I’m intrigued that you have such objects to create your moody photos with, Sue. That loft of yours must be an interesting place 🙂
Well, it isn’t anymore…all cleared out. But I’ll keep some of the props for a few more photos yet!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! It does really look like a painting, the light is just sensational! 😀 😀 😀
Yay! Thanks for your glowing endorsement!
I love this Sue, very much my sort of thing, only natural light and all that atmosphere, just perfect!
Oh, I had a ball setting this up – I think I shall try more still life
You really should, it obviously suits you!
Glad you think so!
