Another beautifully arranged still life, all the elements sitting well together: once again the lighting is excellent, as is the detail and the tones and textures of the various components.

Thanks folks

I did wonder if I could have done with a wee bit more light on the left hand garlic bulb? currently undecided.

Also slightly undecided about the texture. Yes it is a layer - I use a plain beige curtain fabric for the background and then lob textures on top. I used a heavier one than usual due to the bulk of the pic being quite dark but wonder now if it was a bit too heavy.

I don't think every element in a still life needs as much light as the other elements, especially not in a still life with a treatment like this one. I think it's a well balanced composition, with appropriate lighting, and it all works very well.

I like the way the light fades through that garlic bulb. Stunning image.

So artfully arranged it looks as if you just came upon it!
Textures and tones work very well.
I quite like the darkness.

Great image.
I like the use of the broken pot to between the the other two pots to brake up the circles.

Thanks again everyone - and thank you Dave for your award

I do love these mini pumpkins and will be very sad when they finally give up the ghost but I reckon I've got a few weeks before they go kaput. I guess it's feasible though to hollow them out, stuff them with paper or something and let them dry out - I might give that a go!

The garlic happily is keeping very well and doesn't pong at all - I've had it about a month and guess it will just slowly dry up - which is not a bad thing
