People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in,
their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
-Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
This is a great idea. I love the colours..and the way you "fenced in" the cherries with thestraws..a very contemporary look....feels real nice....looks bright
Going barefoot is the gentlest way of walking, and can symbolize a way of living.It's the feeling of enjoyment beneath our toes...it removes the barrier between us and nature...(AdeleCoombs,Barefoot
Dreaming)
This is a great idea. I think for a background I would prefer the cherries and straws smaller, a bit like a border if you see what I mean? But this is still a great shot.
I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .
Thought is another name for fate.
Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
The concept of this image is awesome. It's still life and pop art at the same time! The straws make an excellent fence for the cherries, and the cherries themselves are captured perfectly in focus..and even reflect a few shapes in the room. i can't find anything wrong with this at all 10/10 and favs
I just saw this image on the homepage, and even though I see you don't visit us often, I wanted to tell you how impressed I was/am with your cherry works.
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
