THRU GRAPEVINE

Really beautiful work Rakesh Sir!

Excellent work from top to bottom. Best Regards.

Beautifully composed and executed. A true work of art. All the best, Margo.

There is only one man who can paint a canvas in this beautiful way.Who is he? The correct answer is Rakesh Syal.

 

"Did God set grapes a-growing, do you think,

 

And at the same time make it sin to drink?

 

Give thanks to Him who foreordained it thus--

 

Surely He loves to hear the glasses clink!"

 

Omar Khayyám

Just excellent................................Superb shot!

 

I saw some poet that our friend A.K.SIRCAR wrote for you!...I`m glad because this poem and poetry is owned to whom I proud...from my country.

 

Thnx for sharing this and wish you success...Regards(Bobby).

I just dont understand.Please tell what is so amazing here.

As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as is technical expertise and elegance. Obviously there are a number of us who think this image has all three qualities in abundance. Kind regards, Margo. PS why not post some of your own work to PN?

Really nothing if you do not have a taste for such images. The world admires Taj Mahal; Aldous Huxley found it a monotonous repetition of curves.

wonderful.. OB

 

Beautiful photograph and presentation.Great colors and compositon.

Exquisite composition, Rakesh. The elements, refletions, colors and light are unique. Excellent work! Congrats!

Preciosa composicion,Rakesh.Excelente exposicion,con una sensacional luz,colores y unos reflejos estupendos.

 

Program forbids to give 7/7...

 

Cordial greetings -Tolo.

Looks good enough to touch Rakesh. Love your rendition, great technique on the background.

Great job ! Congratulations ! Best regards, Mircea

Hello my friend, I'm here at last! Beautiful still life, in color this time! And the most tasty of all your still life images, that's for sure! Don't know exactly about wine, but the best grape brandy is the one with which you can eat the grape the brandy was made of and find similarity in the two tastes!

 

Cheers my friend!

You did post this image for critique, so I will give you my honest opinion. Hopefully, you will accept it in the spirit it was given. I think on the plus side, the technical brilliance of this image is evident. The lighting is great, the forms are reproduced with almost obsessive detail, the lighting is great. Unlike some others, I can live with the reflections.

 

But--and this is a big but--this image and the reaction to it, to me, is the manifestation of all that is wrong with pnet and its buddy rating system. You have produced some superb work in this genre. I have commented on and rated many of them quite highly, but this image falls FAR short of your usual standards, and to rate it a 7/7 would be dishonest, to say the least. First, the composition is remarkably ordinary. The figures are centered, there is no flow of the eye to the image at all, as the one bottle sort of sits by itself to the side.

 

Usually, your pictures would strip the color and allow the fruit to be the one colorful spot in the image, a drop of blood or gold in a sea of monochrome, so to speak. Here, the pervasive green in the image jars the senses, and the red wine, rather than complement the image, seems rather out of place (red wine from green grapes!), and even the background is close to the same shade of green.

 

Had the red wine been placed at the lower right foreground like you normally do, then it might have worked. I am not assuming you do not know this, as I have seen you do it many times. I am left to assume this is an experiment, in which case I will state that, at least for me, it did not work. And, one last nitpicky detail: the title should read "Through The Grapevine" "Thru Grapevine" sounds awkward. I note that English is not your primary language, and this is in no sense a slight. I wish you and yours the best.

 

Emmanuel.

Master job.

Great exercise. 7/7

 

Best Regards
