Miniatures in still life

Get pushed Challenge 556
My get pushed partner this week challenged me to do a traditional still life with top down lighting. A little gathering of the stuff, then fiddling with the tripod (oh, I don't like tripods) ended up with this still life.

@farmreporter I thank you for your challenge and I hope this is acceptable.

That's beautiful Kathy ( with you on tripod, so glad it's been out away after last month!!)

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks Jackie.

Very nice shot

[Wendy]

This is a very nice still life with lovely composition, Kathy.
I really like how the top down lighting has lit everything evenly with no harsh shadows anywhere. A very different look to most still lifes!
I do find that the focus is soft on the very front vase, though.

[Susan Wakely]

This is such a lovely set up Kathy.

[Margaret Brown]

Love your composition

[katy]

An interesting collection of shapes. The overall composition is fabulous and I do like the light

[haskar]

Lovely muted colours and light.

[Mary Siegle]

Very nice collection of objects and lovely still life photo of them. I am with you regarding tripods!

[Pyrrhula]

Lovely display and a beautiful capture.

@bkbinthecityThank you Brian.
@farmreporter Thanks for the feedback Wendy. You're right about the focus on the vase. I should have taken it again. The light is from a fixture made out of an old old lamp. The shade is yellow painted glass and is actually at the top of the fixture. I admit, I "whitened" the photo a bit because the tones were too yellow for me for this image.
@wakelys Thanks Sue.
@craftymeg Thanks Meg.
@grammyn Thank you Katy.
@haskar Thank you Hannah.
@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry.

Very nice still life. I really like the pot/vase/jug on the right

[Wylie]

They look like pots at a gallery admiring the picture :)
