here this collection of dead and dried material

corn/palmleave/sunflower

the background is this old chair wich a bought on a flea market for a few euro

worst scenario for an image like this is that
all the more subtile details will get lost on a bad monitor
on a more bright screen the details should come out okay

was a hard choice between this and the one on
wich i did not use the diffuse effect
i never used the diffuse effect and i tried to keep it as light as possible
it lowers the sharpness tempers the colours and brightness and puts a little grain into it
i just wanted to emphasize that painted like look wich i like so much lately
hope its to the benefit

about fitting the challenge i think if it has a painted like look its probably about Lighting too

whatever happens.. i had my share of fun and learning

I'm surprised you don't have your work in DPC Prints. It's beautiful art and should do well :)

I'd never seen this before today. I guess you know what I think of it already ... Een avondje NAC!

God, I love this. Just ran across it. Something about the texture of the corn. Beautiful. I'd hang in in my dining room. I love your post editing technique!! Keep 'em coming.

Never saw this before, it's gorgeous. Love the muted colors and the way the yellow of the corn just pops out at you. Beautiful work!

You've hit a stride and found a style that works very well for you. This was my only 10. I liked how the corn had life in the color.

{{{ sigh }}} Still my very favorite...but then again...my comment made that quite clear...corn has never been so delicious.

Excellent !!

The textures on the wall and corn really make this shot (emphasized by the lighting, of course). I'm not sure I'm sold on the vertical crop, but it does work nicely.

It seems really a painting! Nice capture and wonderful textures!

VEry interesting photo. I think you could have brought out a few light spots on the wall a bit more. Nice detail and composition
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very painterly, old world. Really enjoy the subtlety of the light
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/25/2005 11:24:43 AM
a very nice image that is a little too dark, more detail would make it even more attractive
  Photographer found comment helpful.

interesting treatment, gives a unique quality to this entry
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good still life - I like the subdued colours and composition and choice of format
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/24/2005 09:03:17 PM
This is good. Very unusual composition. I love how the corn pops out at you. And the individual kernels look great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/24/2005 06:51:05 PM
Beautiful. What a wonderful image this is!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/24/2005 02:33:40 PM
I love this however I don't think it fits the theme. Yes the light on the corn is special but I still don't see that light is the subject of this image any more than it always is in a photograph. I'm giving this a 6 because it is a fine photograph with an elegant richness in color.

I like the lighting in this still life; it appears to have a painterly quality, similar to the lighting Rembrandt used..don't let this comment go to your head!..haha..great picture with lovely soft complimentary tones...9
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Astounding effect . It's like a old painting where some colors disapeared in time. Is this effect only made with the lighting or helped a bit (or more) with post processing? , anyway a great picture for me. 10

This is truly gorgeous! I'm am actually almost speechless...the tones, the palette, the light...exquisite...10

Part 2: This is still absolutely magnificent... for me, it reminds me of a tarnished "Old Masters" painting/masterpiece...it has a completely interesting sooty...almost metallic quality about it...I actually want to buy a print of this... it has totally moved me...again, a very fine job.

? is this a painting? Unusual shot if not. I love the corn.

This is stunning. Can't believe I'm going to add a photo of corn to my favorites.....10

Wonderful take on this chalenge!
I love the light on the corn, and the painting look over all.
One of the most creative and unique photos in the challenge!

Excellent colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/23/2005 11:20:16 AM
Very painterly- excellent effect. I might have shot it fom a slightly different angle, lowering the camera to be a bit more level with the corn. I also might have lightened it up just a tad, but that's strictly a matter of personal taste. Still an 8.

05/23/2005 08:16:05 AM
Love this, almost has a painted effect going.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/23/2005 02:32:18 AM
the texture in this picture is just unreal. wonderful work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/23/2005 12:44:01 AM
I really like how vivid the corn is in contrast with the subtle shades that surround it. This image has a "high quality" feel to it... something you would pay big $$$ to hang on your wall. Excellent shot, good luck in the challenge!

Can't wait for the recipe...very nice colors and unusual take on lighting.
