objects Vase (The one on the right)

Comments are welcome !!!

I very much like the title! I also think the image has a really nice softness about it. The colours are great too

I've tried this shot myself, so I know how tempting it is -- it *looks* so photogenic but I've never managed to get it to come out right.

 

I think that the problem is that articifical lighting is too muted and directional... what this needs is a healthy dose of sunlight and something bright (as in the green of a slim flower or fern, or whatever colour tickles your fancy).

 

I think that it would also help to look at some of the top-rated still lifes (still lives?) to see how they work with a very static composition but manage to deliver real impact -- the arrangement and juxtapositions of objects is crucial for this and I think that if you were to change both the angle of view (lower) and the relationship between the two vases then you could find yourself with a much more powerful image.

I've been looking for an idea to fill an empty space in my living room. Thank You, this is perfect. Oh, the light and shadow are great.
