Kaffee im Garten

Extremely original & creative. I love the sepia toning with just a hint of colour, but the actual subject material is what got me. Totally unique, and yet typical of any picnic table, except the fly perhaps would be alive!! The foreground and distant cup is brilliant & gives a lot of depth. The lipstick yuk, but adds a touch of 'life'. The sky adds an enormous amount to the image, so much space & a feeling of universe with human inhabitant. The fly, well..... humour is always appreciated ;)

I love this still life! You have managed to take everyday objects and made them seem otherworldly. GOOD job!

Hahaha...great image - the dead fly, the lipstick, the sky and the subtle colouring all work wonderfully.

To be picky, the cup seems *too* close to the top of the image, and I wish the spoon handle didn't disappear off the side.

Love it.

Both your pictures are awesome.

 

Looking forward to when you upload more pictures :)

Great image. One of the most creative I've seen here. Great balance and story. Good use of manipulation. This is what I was talking about on the discussion board. This is originality at it's best.

A very original image indeed!

Very sympatic picture ... a little bit more place under the cup to see smoke perhaps but nice.

i KIND'A LIKE IT

This is an incredible composition. It doesn't get any better ... everything is taken care of ... and that fly for a still life ...cool.

Good work. I certainly welcome this use of photography on the site.

 

This could be done in camera, if you wanted to, with some planning, and perhaps one double exposure to get the scale of the fly like this. The one flaw might be the reflection of the photographer in the cup. Tabletop photographers would usually resolve that problem by shooting with a view camera and shifting the lens to keep the camera out of the scene. I don't know if you can get enough shift on a Canon T-S lens to do that trick, but it might be worth a try, or you might consider experimenting with a 4x5" monorail camera, which is the ideal tool for this kind of work.

Your photos are wonderful.

Love your pictures - this one in particular.

excellent

Another great image. The reflection on the cup adds just a bit more complexity to the scene and seems just right to me.

You are cool!This picture is telling a story and that's great about photography ,isn't it ?

Veri gooooood, 6/6
