I like how the pattern on the tomato skin and the pattern in the pottery glaze compliment each other. Thank you for sharing.

I very much appreciate your remarks!
Sharing is my middle name.

I photographed my still life in what I call a "light box." It's a medium-sized box with fabric walls held up with plastic tubes that fit together.
In the top of the box are the lights. I have a switch outside where I control how much light is used.

I really control all the visual elements in this box, and it's fun!
I appreciate your comments!

I think I realized that subliminally. Just now you mentioned it and I realized how true it is.
I appreciate how you helped me realize my motive in taking this photo!

Ditto on your soft and sweet lighting Peggy. You are SO creative!

I'm gobsmacked, really! I've never seen myself as creative, even though I know I have times when I am. It's strange!
I do know what looks good to me. That's certain.

Thank you again.

rim of the bowl within the rectangle ... brava!

It was actually easy getting the bowl's rim inside the rectangle. I just stood in front of my light box and looked at the LED window on the back of the camera till the bowl was where I wanted it!

The camera really works with me to get the photo just right.

I like that picture

Combined with the pottery is very striking

The bowl made for a lovely grouping. I've used it before and it always pleases me.
