[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These bowls caught my eye as I was sitting on a friend's backyard deck. Whether they were placed there deliberately or not, I do not know. But from my low PoV and with the slanting sun, it simply struck me as a nice little still life.

Tech: Captured in raw, adjusted levels, contrasts and slightly adjusted colour saturation, converted to jpg, adjusted highlights and shadows, resized, sharpened, framed and signed

Have a wonderful week and thanks so much for your kind comments, suggestions and workshops

Hi Silke

The abalone shell caught my eye in the thumbnail. I had a couple in my seafood hotpot on Jeju Island. An eclectic mix od items. Tfs!

Nicely seen and captured.

Hi SIlke, really good name to your photo, simple, and great, nice shot, good details and ligth. TFS

Bonjour Silke,

jolie proposition avec cette composition bien éclairée. Pour ma part, j'aurais diminué la présence sombre du tronc d'arbre, tout en gardant les proportions et l'arrière plan.
Merci pour la partage.

Amicalement
Laurent

Hi Silke,
Beautiful still life composition!
You rendered so well the colors and textures. I like much the mix with ochre and light blue.
Excellent DOF and play of shadows and light.
Very nice image! Annie

Well seen Silke. Although I think I would have been tempted to crop out the tree trunk on the left so that the composition was nearer the thirds rule.

This is an appealing shot, with the earthy colors, combination of materials/shapes, and natural background. The sunlight and pine needles give this a fresh outdoor mood that invites taking a deep breath and basking in the scent of the pines. Well done:)

Bonjour Silke,
Tout ce qui est simple est forcément joli!
En voici encore la preuve, il y a dans cette photo un grand potentiel de contrastes végétaux et nature morte, j'aime beaucoup!
Amicalement Odile

Hoi Silke,
Yes, again I see that the most beautiful things in life are simple and often for free. Like this "artwork of simplicity".
Beautiful light/exposure and colors. Good DOF.
greetings,
Joop!

You're right, very peaceful looking no matter how they got there.
Nicely captured as well as envisioned.
The colors, both off the camera and after post maintain a very natural look.
Nicely done.
Thanks for sharing,
Wilt

It looks like an oversized abalone shell on top with the mother of pearl look about it Silke. Nice tones and textures and well composed.

Very pretty! I would love to try some still life but I'm never able to find anything of interest. This is very unique and the lighting and colors are beautiful! Thanks!

Yes Silke, perfect in everyway, attractive earthy tones and good composition.

Hope your visit with your friend has been as enjoyable as this still-life.

Hell silke,

I understand wht you found this still live so compelling. It is a hugely interesting set of shapes perfectly placed and with terrific light giving form and contour.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

This is beautiful. Very nice idea. Colors and textures interesting. Thanks for sharing.

hi silke, this is great, it reminds me of me sitting out at a bbq and almost half ignoring by accident the person talking to me as i see something that i want to pick off as the light is right-typical photographers we all are-lol!
very keen eye on this with a nice composition and good details,
tfs,
scott...back later:)
