Still Life

My first attempt at home lighting. Used a polarizing filter to tone down the highlights. Adjusted the colours and did a gaussian blur.

Hey Jackie, I don't know anything about still life photography so I can't critique- but just wanted to say it looks good to me!!

Well presented Lady Jackie,
I like the soft glow and shine all along the glass. The cluster of apples have a cotton candy feel to them...the soft hunter green background with the sundry shades of light, puts this over the top...a big congrats...proud of you...:cool:

Jackie, this is just too cool. I'm certainly not skilled enough tho comment on the technical side but i really like the feel of the shot. I particularly like the choice of background

Thanks Dave,
I had so many lights, diffusers,reflectors, and things all over the place that I was tripping over everything. The tablecloth is actually held up by a yardstick on a chair. The things you do for a shot eh! Thanks for your comments.

It almost looks like a Orton effect, very well done, nice lighting!

Well done Jackie. I really like the dreamy quality of it. I have never done a still life before, but this looks good to me. How about trying this with a little caviar next time?

It does look like an Orton effect. It sure did a number on the glass! It's gorgeous!
