This is most artistic, meaning it touches the viewer on a deeper level than just a snapshot. We can see you made this photograph, not just took it. The colour palette is magnificent. The beiges of the hand, the buttons and soft pops of beige in the tablecloth really accentuate the whole image. Furthermore, the photo is sharp, very nicely contrasted, well exposed, easy to "digest". I like the soft touch of gradient tool around the edges (or did you vignette) it sexily and subtley hold our eyes in your presentation and we stay and enjoy the journey. Very lovely upload...a potential winner, dare I say!

Thanks Olga. I did add a vignette because the white flower on the top right of the material looked too bright white from the light coming through the window. I had to do something to lead the eye more toward the centre and vignettes seem to do that job perfectly.

Congrats Angel, very nice

Congrats!

Congratulations,

Congrats SkyAngel.

Thank you very much everyone.

I like this post for the tilt effect of your lens...with the sweet spot being in the center on the horizon. Your creativity shines with this upload...monochrome and then that pop of red button making a strong stand in that all important grid line. Personally, I would have loved to see all in sharp focus however I do like your artistic license as well.

Congrats Randy.

Congrats on 3rd!

Nice find, ad if you created it yourself, I'll be really impressed.

Very artistic and beautiful.

We often speak of photographs taken or photographs made. I don't know if you made this or not but you certainly had the wherewithall to shoot it and you did a great job. It sparkles and engages us not only with colour but vibrancy. Really a lovely post and a joy to review.
