I am delving into the world of still life's and would like some critical critiques. Thanks for your comments and visit.

oh very nice!

[Carole Sandford]

Love this one!

[Helen Jane]

I like this one Ellen, because it has a story to it. It is a lovely arrangement and I hope I am invited to the picnic!

[Kathy A]

This is really lovely

[JackieR]

Love the balance and story of this scene, my only critique would be to tone down the glare on the apple from your light source, but it no way detracts from the beauty of this composition

[LManning (Laura)]

I like this one very much. The glimpses of the basket’s contents and the vintage glasses make it more interesting.

[Walks @ 7]

This one is nicely balanced. I might suggest that the flower be removed. Those glasses are most lovely.

[Babs]

[Susan Wakely]

[Bri]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks for your nice critique. I do need to work harder on my lighting, I'm glad you pointed it out.

@ljmanning Thanks, I really stuffed a lot in there! I was trying to convey a "meal out". Thanks for stopping by!

@joysabin I think you're absolutely right about the flowers in this, there's too much "stuff" in there, and they don't contribute to the pic-nic narrative. Thank you for your feed back. I need to really think "less is more".
