nice colors .would like to see a macro on the bonsai - this plant seems to have very interesting structure

it's beautiful

The branches look brittle, like old glass. I think it works. The blues are well done, reflected nicely.

Another interesting shot! I would mask the higlight on the vase a bit.
I like it a lot, surely your latest 2 artworks are among my favourite photos, regarding the ones posted here lately

The background is perfect here...the bonsai stands out very well and I like the blue tone very much!

Thanks everyone for the constructive comments.

I have taken some macro's of another bonsai that suffered the same fate as this, but this tree has a more interesting shape, so I may take some of it as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

First thank you very much for your high complements. As for the highlight, I had been so concerned with the other elements of the image that I had not noticed this. My "studio" consists of an outdoor alcove where the light reflects off of a wall nicely. I am going to try some other shots with greater coverage of the area with a more muted color to see if I can get a better shot to update this one with.

NIce job!i very like +7

Lovely! I think the highlight is a bit strong...I'd cover that and the reflection of the camera, but this is a beautiful image!

Well balanced composition and wonderfully toned colours.

yeah our smaller digicams tend to have a bit of barrel distortion, where the lens creates are blurrier image by the edges. But this picture doesn't seem to bother me at all. I think it's awesome. Everything looks sharp, clean, and the cooler colors are relaxing to look at. Keep up this wonderful work. +7

impressive still life with a frosty mood

Thanks again everyone for the comments.

Thanks and Damn! This photo is awesome! I really like the blue...hmm tone or whats it called Nice composition too

+9 I love the color

I love the tree as well as the vase but the background is too much in focus. Maybe you should have use macro settings thus blurring the background, if that was possible. Other than that detail, it's great!

I'd also like to thank you for your comment on my picture (the little too dark with a red field and birches in it) and I agree with what you're saying. Unfortunily the light conditions were poor and I didn't want to change too much in PS =)

Cheers!

love it ...

but i think it would have been beter if the color fading on the wall had more contraste like the bowl

wonderful colors, light and especially the composition perhaps i had croped it in another way, but i think thats just a small thing... and all done manually? ... my repect 7/7
and by the way i saw avalon too and love the atmosphere they've created there, but i saw it after i made my "ageless bridge" thanks in advance for oyur comment and vote of course too...

very cool !! +8

Awesome movement on the composition. Perfect. 9/9

good one!!!

My favorite of yours.

Very nice color! I like it!

Tranquility sums this up. And that's the intention of bonsai.

My opinion is - the composition is ok. The colour is sublime.

Good work.

I gave you a 9/9 on this Mr. Holow. This is stunning. I love the blues ... my favorite color! Great work. Congratulations from the Dragonfly Lady!!!

Great composition and color!
I know this is an older work of yours, but I had to comment because it's so lovely. Wonderful work!

I really like the colors... great photo!

I think it's a little to plain. It has the look that it was purposely setup there, more than a look of still life. I don’t mean it has to be capture in it’s actual habitat of the Japaneese mountains or anything, I just think that if it looked like it was just sitting in your room or by a window where it would normally look good, it might look less staged. Maybe also different light or exposure… that’s just me though.

Wonderful +10
