11Feb06 Small vase of Babys Breath - 10060

Photo a Day, Day 318...A friend gave me this marble vase for my birthday one year and I noticed it today and thought it would look neat texture wise with the 'tea stained' paint in our living room. Contemplated cropping to so the black velvet box wasn't cut off on the sides but decided to just put it up as is.
Spent the day making sure we were ready for the blizzard that is supposed to hit tonight and so haven't had a chance to look through many shots from yesterday or today... we have had a rather mild winter thus far keep hoping this one will just pass by as well... guess we'll find out in the morning...

Brilliant. Love all the different shades here and the texture of the background. Gets my vote.

I missed this one! Great image, almost three dimensional. Great depth of field and contrasts.

Especially in color

A nice simple set up that resulted in a very pleasing still life. Nice work.

Just a gorgeous still life. Print, frame, and shoot some more!

I agree too! Marble is lovely and photogenic. Hope the blizzard is not too bad for you.

like the simplicity of the composition, this works so well against the background, spot on DoF
