    Incorporated suggestions offered from my previous thread - again trying for the still life painting look from long ago. Base image shot in morning with natural window light. Used similar treatment with Topaz Simplify, Detail, PB Oil, blended in two textures, then some burn to darken and create some vignette.

    Brendan, this is so good...great job arranging the various elements on the plate...beautiful lighting...the shadows add a lot of depth...my only comment is I find myself wanting a bit more on the RHS...the rest of the plate and maybe a little bit of space...this is so good. Looking forward to seeing more!

    This is outstanding, Brendan! Colorful and very much in the style of Paul Cezanne. The filter effects are awesome. Excellent work.

    Brendan, I must have been brain dead when I replied....I was on my laptop and didn't see the scroll bar at the bottom of the image...RHS of the plate IS there...it's beautifully composed...scratch my previous comment and replace it with a !

    Brendan, Great job on this one. I like the arrangement and the processing looks awesome. The slightly muted colors add nicely to the image.

    I think still life's are challenging. Nice job here. Lovely light. I like the simplicity.

    Thanks everyone, much appreciated.

    Thanks John, and no worries, I've done the same thing before, when commenting on other threads! Your comments are always very helpful, and you have a good eye for knowing what is needed.

    Brendan, this is so well done! I like the composition and the filters you chose turned this into a wonderful painting. The lighting is superb - well thought out and executed
