 Tableware for a table shot challenge. Set up on a kitchen table- going for a bright morning "bed and breakfast" atmosphere. Taken in natural ligt- window on the left, whitish- transparent film as a background, white sheet of paper as a bounce on the right; it took a lot of trials and experimenting with DOF to make sure that the gravy boat is in focus, the flowers not to distractingly oof but the rest dissapears in the light and makes a nice background for the subject.

nicely composed (and this is tough to do with so many objects in the frame -- your use of the green leaves is a key element) -- one of my favorites this challenge

The choice of color tone gives the image a soft feeling. I like it.

Nice and clean. The stacks look cool. You could sell this to party planners for advertisement for sure.
