So still by joysabin

So still

Some grapes and things a bit grunge'd out. I am sorry about not keeping current with my comments, still trying to find a 'new' comfortable spot to plop down with my laptop. My back hasn't given me a complete green light for any chair to do so, yet.
Very nice. Hope you feel much better soon.

Like the grunge, hope you feel better soon

What a classic looking still life & the sepia tones (Parchment?) gives it such age and depth...interesting contrast with the clear glass cup and saucer.

Love it - fav

This is absolutely gorgeous.

@tinley23 Thank you so much, I will but I basically love to slouch about.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you so kindly for the fav. My back is just fussy not that I'm doing anything wrong :-)

@fbailey Most grateful for the fav. I am trying to be good but lazy is so tempting :-)

@granagringa This started out as a study in light but I have limited equipment so I wasn't sure what to do. It occurred to me to try a grunge texture layer on top (found that on line). Blended with multiply in Photoshop.

@pdulis Thank you a great deal for the fav.

@nickspicsnz You are so kind, thank you so very much for the fav.

Cool. Love it. Hope your back gets better. I feel guilty for not commenting but after spending all working day on the computer, enough seems like enough. Still trying to make that (not commenting) be ok!

@joysabin And here I thought you'd used a piece of parchment...never would have thought of "grunge layers"! I'm impressed!

Love this effect and still life, very Renaissance.
July 25th, 2020  
Very Creative! FAV Hope your back is on it's way to recovery!
July 25th, 2020  
Sorry re your back. This s elegant. I wish there were a tad more room above the beautiful grapes

@francoise Thank you so kindly, very grateful for the fav. Getting on in experience is taking its toll but I'll darned if I will let it control me.Okay, now pass the tylenol...

@theredcamera Thank you so very kindly.

@bubblequeen Thank you a great deal for the fav. I will try to behave but old habits die hard.....:-)

@jgpittenger I agree that it is tight. Very grateful for the idea to stretch my canvas a bit.

So sorry to hear you've got a bad back. Both Les and I have crook backs. I like the effect you have on the shot but agree with Jane re tightness. @jgpittenger

Really cool edits!
July 25th, 2020  
Nice presentation
July 25th, 2020  
nicely composed
July 25th, 2020  
Lovely capture
July 25th, 2020  
Wow -- this looks like something I'd see in a tea shop, a museum, a classic mansion. Beautifully done!

@golftragic Thank you so much. My back just seems to have sense of humor- I think that I was trying to capture the reflection at the bottom but you and Jane have good points about the tightness at the top.

@aikiuser Thank you so much.

@k9photo Thank you a great deal.

@pistache Thank you so much for the fav.

@ziggy77 Most thankful for the fav.

@taffy You are so kind,very grateful for the fav. I think that I might re-shoot this idea with more 'room' , using Jane's and Marnie's suggestion and consider getting it printed on metal
July 25th, 2020  
Sorry for ypur back. Lovely capture and edit.
July 25th, 2020  
I absolutely love this! It is so professional looking. Perfect lighting especially on the fruit. Love the grunge. Agree with Jane's and Marnie's suggestion for more room at the top. I hope you do reshoot or stretch in photoshop and print - It would be fabulous!
Hope your back starts behaving.
July 25th, 2020  
@joysabin Well worth doing!
July 26th, 2020  
Oh i understand about the back and finding a comfortable spot. I hope you find relief soon. As for this picture, i really like the processing with the aged textures...fit’s the subject really well.
July 26th, 2020  
Excellent still life. I wish there was just a little more room at the top, but I know what it's like to try and get a shot like this while taking care of a sore back. I hope it has begun to feel better. I love the processing too. fav!

@pixelchix Thank you so very kindly, I have been doing the exercises from PT and they are definitely helping.

@olivetreeann Never give up, never surrender (Galaxy Quest), I do try to follow that but aches and stuff sometimes have a louder voice that I care for. I bought more grapes and am going to try re-staging this with a more comfortable margin at top.

@jernst1779 Thank you so very very much. I hadn't really thought about using the grunge overlay until afterwards but I am going to try again. My back is getting better or I really must admit that I am following my PT instructions closer :-)
