Get Pushed 7 Renaissance style Still Life by monika64

Get Pushed 7 Renaissance style Still Life

photo 250
From Megsy;
"So my challenge to you this week, if you wish to accept is, find 3-5 unusual objects (not normally seen together) and create a still life composition of them - who knows they might just look right together. How you choose to process the photograph is up to you."
I studied Renaissance artwork and lighting and produced this. I rally got into this today.

That is simply beautiful Monika.... Feel like I've been transported to somewhere like Tuscany or similar... love it.

You have created a wonderful photo Monika.
posted September 7th, 2012  
I saw this and wondered "When ddid Leonardo da Vinci join the 365?" You have met your challenge and surpassed it. FAV!

Beautiful creation Monika......

Fantastic job on this one Monika! Fav :-)

This is absolutely gorgeous. It looks just like an ancient painting.

Oooo ... this is really cool!

Totally convincing. And I used to teach Renaissance art!!!!
posted September 7th, 2012  
Great image - love the processing and the randomness when you look really closely. The tomatoes in the glass don't look at all out of place until you think - there are tomatoes in a Martini glass
posted September 7th, 2012  
Excellent looking ! The objects and processing is right on the money! Nice going!
posted September 7th, 2012  
This is so stunning!
posted September 7th, 2012  
Don't know about you but I often serve my tomatoes in a Martini Glass! ;-) Love the processing.
posted September 7th, 2012  
Fabulous!!!!!
posted September 7th, 2012  
wow instant fav. You did an amazing job
posted September 7th, 2012  
Beautiful setting, nice golden tones!
posted September 7th, 2012  
Great shot. It is very Renaissance looking, so you have captured it perfectly. I liked seeing your set up shot too. It's fun getting into these Get Pushed Challenges
posted September 8th, 2012  
Stunning!
posted September 8th, 2012  
You nailed it, Mon!!! I quite like the "behind the scenes" shot too... well, minus the chair :P... but the lighting is great. I think you can say with confidence that the challenge was met and a massive success :) Ps... it's on the PP!!! :D
posted September 8th, 2012  
Fave. Love it. Well done.
posted September 8th, 2012  
What a beautiful photograph Monika!! Very nucely composed!! This, IMHO is a work of art!! Fav!
posted September 8th, 2012  
Whoa, I'm happy this went somewhere, I really learnt a lot on this challenge and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I knew when I took the original that I had got the lighting right, I quite like the original too, but hey, I had to process, just to see if I could. Thanks for your favs

posted September 9th, 2012  
wow great job, this looks amazing. fav
posted September 9th, 2012  
This is spectacular Monika! I love how you rose to this challenge, you absolutely nailed it! LOVE it! :-)
posted September 9th, 2012  
And now on to our own challenge! So happy to be paired with you this week!!

You asked what I'd been challenged with already, let me see if I remember them all: hi-key selfie, architecture, residential shots from my neighborhood, street photography, old-rundown-vintage, doors & windows, b&w,and I know I'm missing 1 but can't think of it right at the moment... :-)

Now for your challenge: I spend some time going through your album, and as one of your followers, already knew a) your work is wonderful and b) your album has a lot of variety in it already....so what do I challenge you with....hmmmmmm

How about architecture? It's one thing I didn't really see in your work. Are you up for that?
posted September 9th, 2012  
This is superbly brilliant, absolute fav!
posted September 9th, 2012  
@socalgal I'm up for achitecture if you like but we live in a newish, coastal area and theres not much "architecture" to speak of (I have done a few over the months esp when I've gone into the city). Feel free to push harder.
posted September 9th, 2012  
the processing is amazing! FAV (how this is not the clear leader in the get pushed voting is beyond me)
posted September 10th, 2012  
@monika64
Monika, I'm sorry...I just saw your note to me on my challenge to you (having issues lately with the 365 not sharing all updates with me...hmmmmm)

If it's not too late for a harder push, then how about:
Processing - show me a capture that reflects a new use in processing for you, one that you haven't dabbled in yet...try something you've hesitated on trying, or haven't had the time to really roll up your sleeves and give a go to... ie: grunge effect, old fashioned, etc...

Make sense?? And if you're already deep into my original challenge, please feel free to continue down that path.

Great still life. Love the processing.
