Wow, that's great, Romi! I love the old book, the candle, etc. well-placed for artsy 'ancient' look. I can see an old fifth-century Christian trying to read his Bible that has been passed down for several generations.

Qué alegría verte de nuevo. Espero que disfrutaras de tus larguísimas vacaciones. Por lo pronto, veo que retomas tu estilo "bodegón", y con qué exitazo!.

La composición es elegante, perfecta en cuanto a profundidad, colores y nitidez. No obstante, ya te he dicho en alguna ocasión que no me convence que la fuente de luz entre en contradicción con la vela, pues le resta naturalidad. Y los elementos que has elegido en este caso no... no recrean un ambiente, con lo que queda algo frío... ui ui ui lo siento, me vas a pegar! Glups!

Hi Romi,
Your picture is great and excellent composition of the book together with the candle and vase. Just a perfect photo in respect of composition. One thing I wonder why the cotegory 'food'? I do eat books, but not literal :)

Hello Romi,
A very pleasant still life arrangement!
Exposure is very well done, good light resulting in lovely details and wonderful colours...
Good composition, well balanced and the shadows provide a sense of depth!

Hi Romi,

Nice set up, although I have to honestly say another set up might have been a little more natural. Say perhaps having these objects all on a table, or on the floor on a blanket or something that finishes the thought. Do you understnad what I'm trying to say?

But this picture has beautiful qaulities within it, especially that book in the front, if you don't mind my asking, what book is that? It looks so interesting... it must have been read many times, by the looks of it.

TFS.

Biance.

Hello Romi!

Love the details in this one. This is not the latest Harry Potter schoolbook of Magic and Tricks from Hogwarts by any chance? (^_^)
Superb composition and light. Bravo!
