The first impact is startling with the two tones overlapping each other so dramatically. The two different surfaces seem to share the same texture. I don't know what's happening where the reed-like black triangle at the bottom meets the pots on the right. The end result, though, is a very pleasing study.

I love how the vertical shadows get bent by the pottery and by looking at them more from the side help define the shape of it. I was wondering about cropping a little more off the one on the right- maybe down its center. I feel slightly off balance as it is. JeffryZ

It is one photo.Pots placed in front of a patio door vertical blind. The foreground pot is more intense because of the position of the blind.The difference in hue is because i used different clay and it was fired hotter.

I rather like the photoshopped filter (looks like some kind of brushstroke effect) on the triangle shaped shade at the bottom... Was this a collage of 2 or 3 photos? It seems that the colours and light intensity are very different from left to right.

I don't quite understand what's going on here, it looks painted, but I do like it very much. Bold shapes and rich colours and wonderful curves.
