thankyou .. so why the balls ?
i felt that the silverware looked too 'flat' without alternative objects in the frame ..

thank you again for the kind comments
the background is one of a few i had made off a 36" plotter

Wow! That's captivating. Are you attempting to hypnotize DPC?

Very nice patterns! I like that you have chosen a unique reflective surface. It might have been nice without the peas or whatever those little spheres are too, or maybe just to have zoomed in so they were the subject. I find myself trying to figure out what they are more than looking at what should be the subject (I guess), which is those beautiful zebra stripes on the silverware.

Zebra silverware! Not sure about the balls, but I love the silverware.

 02/11/2008 06:25:16 PM
wow! I can't wait to ask you about this photo!

Good looking picture, I've been staring at it for ages, i have two questions though 1. why the marbles? 2. How did you get the zebra in your kitchen.
