Thank you for your kind remarks, Barbara. The cat in the shot is Emily, who is a Bengal. She has a long slender tail that goes with her svelt body. I was lucky to get a nice sharp rendering of her here which showa her striking markings. Love that "L" glass!
Regards,
Mark

Thank you very much for your generous remarks, Andy. Also, I have looked through your portfolio and see that you are making good improvements in your development of a "photographers eye" as your work continues. Keep shooting!

Like your other still life photos, this one is excellent. You have a good eye for composition and the sharp images you create enhance your work. I especially like the reflection on the table. Excellent shot.

Fantastic light metering and use of this expensive element!
I really like your composition. the color tones and the reflection on the silver pitcher(!) are just beautiful.
so lovely, even at 1600 ISO!!

Thanks Ina! You one of the few folks that seems to "get" this pic. I think the difficult in part is the white Usefilm page the image is viewed upon. It makes the picture appear darker than it actually is and the dark details get lost on the white page. Viewed larger in higher resolution on my monitor with a mid-gray neutral background it has plenty of light.
Also, the differences in monitor color and brightness can be a real obstacle to online photo display. None of us are seeing prcisely the same thing. These same shots viewed on my monitor at work look a little murky. Oh well. Anyway, thanks for looking and taking the time to comment. It's always fun to read your right-on observations and benefit from your subtle eye!
Best,
Mark

Beautiful moonglow & mood, Mark. It does remind me of Romanticism - the dark clouds, the colors. It almost looks like a painting, the same effect you get from a pallete knife, especially on the left bank. I like your deep perspective and the graininess. Awesome blue :)

Interesting comment about still lifes, Mark. They certainly are less exciting only for the short-time span one second viewer, which doesn't mean you should give up. It takes a lot of careful work to set them up, to get the shapes and lighting right, they are an exercise in aesthetics more than a capture of a place or a moment. But they also reward you with their fine art quality more akin to painting than photography, much like a crafted object vs. a manufactured one :)

Many thanks for your kind word and careful observation, I'm pleased that you like it. I have done very few still lifes in the last year and also intend to get back to them very soon. I find it's not broadly appreciated, and that's perfectly fine, but it's nice sharing it with someone who likes and understands still life as well as yourself! I hope you find your way back to more of it, you're still life work is nothing short of fantastic!
Best,
Mark

PS - Congratulations for your new lens, you've been spoiled :) I've also added a new lens, a super wide Sigma 10-20mm, for landscapes and for those tall skyscrapers. It makes a huge difference when you want to catch a lot of expanse or height, and it's great for interiors, although the distortion is significant.
That pitcher would also look great with white lilies or cala lily.

Hi Mark, you know I love silverware still lifes, and this is a beautiful pitcher. The glass vase is also beautiful, as it picks up the silver color from the pitcher. The flower and greenery add a nice natural and light texture. The wood color and the mottled brown background add warmth to the cool materials (glass & silver) and reflect with a warm glow, as does the window. Great reflection of the vase too!
I miss the still lifes I was just about to embark upon my moving... so this fills a gap :) Great work, and I'm looking forward to more - Ina

Thanks for your useful comments Ina, very observant and insightful, as usual. I so enjoy your comments to myself and to others as well.
BTW, I got a Canon 85mm f/1.2 L prime lens for Xmas (from my VERY generous wife!). It's my first use of non-zoom in years and so takes a little getting used to again, but WOW, the clarity, bokeh, and color are to DIE for. I hope this doesn't mean I'll need "L" glass from now on, I can't afford it!
All the best!
Mark
