Love this!

Thx ;-D

Lovely composition, and DOF. Love the simplicity and the little pop of red color.

Thx appreciate the comment

If these are carving, I suggest you upload a high res, so we can tell.

Indeed, I'd love to see the woodtextures. If those are all carved out, they made a great job with the sports bag! Good luck!

Welcome to the site, here is how you can upload the High Res.

Your image doesn't need to be enormous, anything between 2.5mg and 3.5mg is plenty big enough.
Good luck

You may also want to darken the image a little to bring our the details better.

Great, thanks

Yes, they made really a great job and you too!

Awesome find & capture! Love the lighting!

Very nice and deserved. Nice week for you!

I think some comments are absolutely not necessary here...

I received a private message from a colleague this site, very strange by the way, telling me to take care with the comments that I do - especially with the praise - and I clearly know this will always take my photos for the last place, I do not care and I'm not here to win or lose but learn and make friends. I think we are free to make good comments that make people get excited and do not give up or lose interest in photography or for participation here. Sure, help improve, but there are ways and ways to talk things out. No need to put this post in the photo as competitor, thus influencing the other vote. I know many are here only for the competition and are really playing with people, playing without any scruples and their only purpose is to make that the photos will be deleted or receive bad grades. In this way, many good photos are at the end and the other start. Ok, some deserve first places.. I'm not generalizating. Look, I'm not talking about my work - my photos, and I do not care if after this post I will be deleted from the site. I just believe that certain standards have to be reviewed here. A good week for everyone. And if I will be deleted ... I stay with good friends that I met here.

I generally try to vote before reading the comments. If everybody says that every photo is wonderful with no constructive criticism, there is really no point in commenting at all. Praising everything reduces the value of your opinion. The objective here is to learn, not to influence votes. I do not comment unless something strikes me as particularly good (to my eye and taste), or a comment on what I think is wrong or could be improved. If an entry is really, really bad, there is no point in saying anything. The votes will tell.

Lovely image and the balance is great! But the house wants to steal the eyes away from the fence.

well done

Looks great principally at Hi Res, the texture of the elements are expressive. GL

Nice setting, well done!

The lighting really makes the texture of the wood, and the berries stand out. Love the added greenery. Really makes the image 'pop'.

congratulations on 2nd place, some pretty steep competition here.

Congratulation ! Well done and deserved! Wish you a nice week!
