Woww, lovely tones Rob, good job!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Aldous. I was unsure about the light from the window on the vase, but I quite like it.

As an example of window reflections on a vase, here is Jan de Heem's "Bouquet in a glass case" - there are others, especially by Dutch artists, showing similar reflections. Click image for larger size.

The light works well Rob, nice and varied. Superb image.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Julian.

The perfect vase for this shot with it's own flowers joining in. I think it would work better if the table cloth was not visible though.

I'll put roses on your grave, Brian! I won't forget

I like this very much Rob. I too might reduce the cloth a bit but only at the LH edge to keep the eye in the frame more. I also like the light on the vase and like the way it emphasises the contrast between the faded blooms and the painted flowers.

Thanks, Pete. I need to purchase a few cloths...

Knitted silks make good, non-reflective grounds.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Knitted? OK. I'll look into it. Thanks.

The remainders bin in a haberdashers is a good source.
