I really like the almost selective colour effect with the cup & BG being all white tones. I could see this on the front of a menu or something.
simple. yet very effective, i love simple images and this ticks all the boxes of my appeal. well lit, neutral colours and certainly relaxing to look at great shot
I don't know what you're mithering for Ruth, A nice simple shot, well lit with excellent composition and as David and Brian have pointed out, works really well with the background. from me
love the composition of this
I like your Relax shot and really fits the theme.
Hi Ruth!
Playing catch up and winding back to Watery
Watery.... I really love this shot, and I think its very clever I love the way the water droplets have taken up the rainbow colours of the backdrop. Was trying to think how you would get that sort of DOF and at the same time keep the water droplets sharp at f1.8. Very colourful and love the way the DOF really pulls up the water droplets. Nice work!
Bold .... I thought you were running an autofocus test card for a minute. Nice DOF again, see your on a bit of a typeface there too. Showed this to SWIMBO to demo DOF as trying to get her into photography too.
Relax ..... Humpff I know this is only your placeholder but its further than I've got! The boss says its because I don't know the meaning of the word.
Anyhow enough drivel, Like the great DOF again here. Its that ghostly image on the RH side and the grainy look that makes it, so think the PP has worked well here.... Did you apply it over the whole image? does look like it .... just pondering if you did it over the whole image apart from the label, might make the label pop a bit? Just thinking out loud. I also think this works nicely with just half the cup in the image rather than the whole thing.
Nice shot I like it.... TBH I would never think of shooting things like this and TP is making me do so, not a bad thing I guess. (Id probably try and integrate the cup into a Landscape).
Nice Work Ruth!
Hi Ruth,
I really like that. If it was a placeholder for me I'd be over the moon, I love the dof and the understated colours
Hi, for a place holder thats really good, one of my favourites of the week the composition is excellent
I like it, it says relax for me and fits the theme perfectly
Hi Ruth
Great shot for the theme... maybe only a placeholder but a very good one.
Nice image Ruth, but camomile tea....yukk
Phil
Minimal, simplicity and very fitting for the theme.
Nice shot for relax Ruth. I love the composition, the light and the dof. If I was going to criticis anything, well I wouldn't be able to
As for tea, I dont drink it either although I do drink green tea with jasmine in it. That camemile stuff is just wrong!
Simple effective nice depth of field sometimes the best pics are the simple ones . hopefully people remember that when i eventually get round to posting mine.
Definitely fits the theme Ruth and is much too good to just be a placeholder.........trust yourself!
That image certainly is inviting me to relax and I'm not a huge fan of tea! The DoF makes it very calming indeed. Great work
Hi Ruth, that is a cracking bit of work, lovely colours, great bg and composition is spot on.
I dug out my incense sticks last week after several years and had great fun.
Interesting take on the theme and the colours work really well.
I had an edit in PS, duplicated and flipped one of them...looked like a praying mantis
Cheers.
