I love this! We usually don't think of something with more subtle light for refracted exercises - see top 4 entries to the challenge :)

I think it's wonderfully effective, and so interesting with the peeling paint and the shape of the vase and stand. I also love the composition as far as how much negative space was given.

Linda - I really appreciate your kind words. My main motivation for taking photos is the hope that I can share and someone will enjoy a scene that I'm enjoying. You have fulfilled that purpose for this photo. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

When you download and zoom in a bit, the details are a little soft. That might just be the resolution of the posted image. When I saw this image this morning, the image is pleasing but my first reaction was to be closer or to crop closer taking away from of the left and top to place the vase slightly closer to the left margin when viewed.

CHG - Thank you for your input. I intentionally left this image a little soft as it seemed to me to add to the overall mood of the scene. The same goes for cropping, I liked how the image fades into the darkness. Just a preference is all. I do appreciate you taking the time to offer you thoughts they were great suggestions. Thanks.

I like how you shot this with the light fall off and shadows. It adds dimension and this gives it the appearance of something I am viewing in real time and not just a photograph. Well done.

excellent exposure and focus!
My only suggestion is to place the base higher so its cener-of-mass is higher than the horizontal midline.
