Still...( life)...

Was photographed at a concert of Baroque music ,an unformal evening in honor of the mandolin and guitars builder artist.

 

Thanks for your impressions.

Thanks

Pnina, your works have always a good quality, sometimes I like more ones from the others but the quality is always there. this is one that I like. Thank you for your kind words to my photos. Regards.

When you give me a mud-fiddler and I have the choice then I take the fiddle :-))

Nice the overall chaining by the colour, keeping interest by the contrasting shapes (of violin and shadow). I even could take this work without a tiny part at the top expecting the instrument more intense...

Classic! Lovely play of light and shadows combined with artfully subdued tones. Fine work. Regards...

The shadows behind look interesting too.

Beautiful work, Pnina!

The tones of the wooden floor , the instrument and the wall, merge into a single expression. The play of shadows on the wall looks musical, echoing the bridge and strings of the instrument. A very warm and inviting portrayal.

 

Pnina; I did not become lost at the bottom of the sea LOL .... just crazy busy since arriving home from holidays :)

very beatifull PN ina, good eye to see this, the background makes this, otherwise it would be just this instrument, nothing wrong whit that ofcourse, it has a 'painted' look, STILL (life) indeed....

 

==with love Elsi

I think the bg really adds charm & beauty to this still life. Well seen & taken, Pnina.

Harmony tones & nice taken diffuse-light, sweet still life, Pnina!! Best regards

Oh GREAT! Another musical instrument image. I thought you were done. (Hope not!)

 

I LOVE this ... the color tones are perfect, and the composition, with the shadows ... it's a wonderful image, Pnina!

I like the wood on wood because it brings out the beauty of the instrument, the shadows forms behind it which give the impression of late in the day, a time to listen to a beautiful concert, and the red velvet rest for the neck, which emphasizes its value.

Pep, Cherlyn Joe ruud and Ricahrd thanks for you always nice support

 

Daily, no surprise what will be your preferance... LOL

 

Spencer, glad you are back, shalom!

 

Gord, I'm so glad to see you here, and know you finished "kissing" the fish...LOL

 

Elsi, glad to read you,I hope you are feeling well and happy !

 

Lou Ann and Donna, the series will continue as I started to photo as well music groups. Especially right now a Baroque music group, with the proper instruments, I love it and I will upload the musicians, and instruments.

 

Thanks!

I love the warm brown tones and am fascinated by the shadows. The title implies story. Lovely.

Great details and tones. I too find the shades in the background fascinating.

Pnina, again the light and shadows that make this. Very nice texture and subdued tones.

This evokes cubism to me: George Braque in treatment and feel. I think the shadows are exquisite. This feels rooted more in your career as painter than as dancer or musician. Lovely!!

Beautiful Work,

Feels very Spanish... this intricate and artistic insinuation of surrealism

Tim, I like your browns too, they are called earth colors...

 

Adan, and Roger I'm glad you liked the shadows, yes they make the image.

 

Jeff, and Janusz thansk for braque and Spanish.... ,

 

I think Jeff that all my work is rooted at the end in my painting love and education. Thanks for feeling and expressing it.

Warm amber lighting to enhance the richness of the wood of the instrument and a nice play of intriguing shadows makes you wonder what is just outside the picture.

Beautiful work, I love the lighting and colors, Pnina.

Still has become alive ,Pnina.

The shadows on the wall give this photo energy and life. I also thought of cubism and find, as Gordon does, that the shadows echo a musical theme. That background is offset by what I experience as a somewhat lifeless pose of the instrument itself. It rests there, leaning just a bit downward on its case which obstructs an otherwise concise and geometric composition. The warm and subdued colors provide a very nice overall feel to the photo and the lighting accompanies those tones quite beautifully.

Here, once again, you show you mastery at light and shadows, Pnina.
