We reach the end of the entry phase.. Thankyou for the kind things you have said. Aside from the competition, it was a pleasure to share these with you. I ahd collected them over a period of 30 years. Jo ... I appreciate your regret that these will never be dunken out of. In contrast I think of Moti's fish ... still life but still part of the cycle. Franky .... That Blurring .. I must have done blurring on it. I also remembering that I left it out of every sharpening process. I'm sure I darkened it too .. I did not want it to challenge thr cups in any way, though it needed to be 'seeable'. Thanks again.

Hi Glyn. Not my cup of tea these kind of photos (as in I don't see myself taking the porcelain out of the cupboard) but you did an excellent job here. Great light you created and captured.

The Glowing dishes! Great catch, also the reflection make it stand out. Did you blur the reflection in pp? Thanks for putting this in.

Glyn - this is a WOW photo for me. Perfect in every way - from the subject to the compo, to the shadows/reflections to the complimentary colors. A terrific entry, my friend! :-)
