Lovely shot, Bente. Color and detail are great. The very formal and almost classical composition applied to such rustic subject matter works beautifully.

I agree with Mark... nice.

Great image, Bente. You have a wonderful gallery.

Mark ... thank you for your very nice comment.

 

Renny .. and thanks to you too.

 

Brian .. how pleasing of you to take time to look my gallery through. Always nice when someone is doing that... and is leaving a comment too.

Hi Bente!

Love your revolving portrait gallery. Today's is a real hoot! Fraid I can't give you much input on the pros and cons of the color vs. B&W versions. They're both great! --jim

I like your stil life compositions Bent.

 

I think that each of the 2 has its photographic value, but being a color frik.. that one is my favorite.I like in particular the brown chair and blue/violet flowers, and the composition in general. Pnina

Well done! Great light and composition.

Bente- Beautiful lighing and subject. I was amazed to read the technical details, 30 sec. F22, amazing detail and perfect exposure! Super!

A well composed still life.

I'm another colour freak. Beautiful wood colours and textures in this version.

Hi

 

I really like this photograph for its color, focus, lighting and the items you've combined to create the composition, its very appealing.

 

But I do have just one nitpick though, everything just looks a little to neat, this reminds me of a tool shed, or garden shed, and in most garden sheds I have seen, the tools where never placed quite this neatly, I think IMO, that if you had at least one item not so neatly placed, it would have gave this a little more of an interesting look, a little more of a touch of reality, like for example, say if the pitch fork or shovel had been placed, leaning across the other into the left corner! but of course, thats just my opinion! :o)

 

This is a really appealing capture as it is though!

 

Ken.

Excellent. I can't make up my mind about whether the B&W or the color one is better. But I am now leaning towards the color one.

I loved the B&W version of this pic.... I love this color version, too.

Bente, I think I see a bit of style "a la Williams" here. And you've done a nice job. The small aperture has brought out great detail in the hydrangea. I can identify totally with this image as gardening is my second passion. But my shed isn't nearly this tidy. I would have to fight the spiders off with the fork before venturing in with my camera. Thanks for a peek into your world.

Very nice, Bente - peaceful and relaxing to view.

Thanks to everyone commenting this one. Original the set up was for a quite different shot... potatoes in a bunc still with the soil lump and the green top ... but when I was teady for that the potatoe tops had withered .. so now I'm using the set up to anther idea ... using the vegetables I have been growing in my kitchen garden.
