Finalised image from the previous upload.
I've tagged it as digitally manipulated as there are a few B&W contrast layers involved in this and it's also a panoramic stitch from five shots although the format doesn't fit EPZ's idea of a panoramic so I've loaded it as a standard 1000 pixel.
Thanks for looking.

More nostalgic, less immediate without the pills. But I like the faded rose, I hadn't noticed that before...
The dark shadows extreme left and right are so much more satisfying than those cut-off diagonals...

Cheers guys
These are being done as a commission for a large dining room. The client wanted large pieces that might create a talking point and in which you could spend time searching the picture and seeing the connections and the back story. The idea is that when you go back for a second look, you might see something you did not see before.
So much of interest to see therein, and that is a superb bit of pipe smoke.

Thats a far more harmonious arrangement Keith. I like all the different elements - they support the main focal point (love the hour glass - time running out) I would like to see this large- couple of minor niggles - the cove where the globe is you can see the top of the bureau. It pulls the eye away. Also some of the dark recesses are little too dark (tho I guess that may be partly down to compression).

P.S. just seen this has got a very well deserved EC.
cool.... not usually fussed about still life, but this is rather lovely... that glass looks ace.
what you printing on - just done a load of 5 foot wide acrylic prints for the penthouse of the old Allders building on the Headrow - look really rather nice in that finish.. maybe a bit "modern" looking for this kind of image though.
Nice work - Was a toss up for me between the b/w version and this one. The title of Dear John made me think it was a letter from a women to a man - however the glass of whisky stopped me in my tracks - I don't associate whisky with a women (sexist I know). Was this a deliberate juxtaposition between the title and glass?
I know what you mean but then even the best still lifes in classical art are obviously staged and look that way.
It's getting the trade off between composition and 'how it might appear in life'. Be good fun on winter nights trying to get the ultimate result.
