This is a gorgeous still life!!! As "just a composition", it's really appealing, but that plate is a fabulous choice to raise it above the rest! Is that one special plate, or do you and Ina have fabulous dinner dishes? I love it!
I chuckled that no one had mentioned the plate the last time you used it in a photo! Also that you have several different ones "depending on the time of day"... Several years ago I used to go on eBay and buy plates and dinner settings; I love pretty and unusual china patterns! I'm quite familiar with Rosenthal, and loved several of the German makers.
@Weezilou We`ve several plates in use depending on time of the day and one for special occasions.
I`ve use this plate before for a still live shot : http://365project.org/pyrrhula/365/2013-11-30
And nobody did mention the plate.
