Bliss!

It recalls me of some Paris impressionist's pictures.

Ecxellent shot... I like it better than the others because it is in B&W... it'd should be a 6/6!

My passions exhibited here, with my camera in hand!

comment freely!

This b&w version is much better for me as the colour one.

Some white parts are 'burned' but it may be fixed to play with highlights.

I Love to be there and drink that cofee!

It is so comfortable !! I Love this photo !! 7/7

It is a shame that in Spanish still life pictures are called naturaleza muerta (death nature) In fact, I believe death nature are always alive, at least, in the artist`s hart.

Your still life is awesome. You got all the masters appointed to do a good still life: balance among the objects taking an imaginary vertical line (menu and little pot) as the support to the other sides. End the classical pyramid composition where all the items are enclosed in a triangle.

For a photographer, to take in consideration such a composition in seconds is a must.

The only thing I`ll change is the background, a bit disturbing. Backgrounds are as important as foregrounds. They have to be unnoticed.

This is an old of my paintings with similar technique. The original is in colour.

Luis, thank you for your welcome input on this image and on the others too! I did something about the b/ground as you suggested, and Yep, I do agree I ought to have done something with it earlier....

That's looks like a great painting of yours.. I'd give an arm and a leg to be able to do something like that.!

Dear Mike

first of all, thanks for yr comments on my B&W Amaryllis shot, yr comments is even more appreciated as coming from a photographer who loves, I like this shot, because it is an innovative way for a Still life composition and because it is wo beautifully expressed in Black and White.

My best wishes to you, too, for a wonderful 2009
