Default Something New

hello again. Well, I thought it was time to try something new. I have been playing with some still life and yesterday I took quite a lot of shots to get this one something like presentable. This is the one that I was happy with. It's going to be a long learning process. I hope you enjoy it.

First Attempt at Still Life

Dave.

Enjoy this a lot Dave As always your not afraid to try new territory and you have done very well. I like the
vignette effect and the composition lighting and focus are spot on
