Congratulations on 1st place, a beautiful photograph and scene.

very nice lighting and really sharp! well done

Oustanding!

Awesome picture

Lovely, my favorite, though lighting was not from the lamp as well. A combination of two kinds of lighting would give it a more period feel which is what I assume the shot wants to portray. I suppose being in black & white, you need not worry about a temperature clash between two kinds of lighting.

Wonderful Dimitris

Beautiful shot

loved the click... but just to add up... this can still be found in almost every Indian Kitchens!

Nice shot, I actually still use one of these in my kitchen to pulverize fresh herbs I find in the forest!

The fact that you also captured the metronome in action just caps off another wonderful entry.

Im sorry but this one should have been in a photoshop contest lol

Really beautiful and creative. Nice job as usual.

There is no Photo manipulation in this photo. All the clever things has been done to the fruit before they were photographed.

Wonderful shot as usual author

Great photo, but strange cropping, IMO

This is for sure thinking out of the box. Great job...GL
