i have a bowl something like this , but the picture is has a little noise.

it's not noise its velvet cloth !

"it's not noise its velvet cloth !"...that's classic!!! LOL!, nice work author, good entry

this is a bird of paradise plant, and is not being done any favors being portrayed in sepia..the colors in the flowers are amazing, and should be shown...imo

totally agree w/ Ade, this is a flower best shown in color. The highlights are blown here and wash out any type of detail that the sepia would enhance...nice try author.

Pretty

really good effort, well done.

nice entry, good attempt, I enjoy the backlighting idea. Drop is nice and crisp in hi-rez

Nice!

Very nice. Almost gives a meteoric movement feeling.

Light this moment, shadows that moment.... very poetic!
