In this, my third still life in the small series, I tried to use the natural light coming thru a nearby window to make this appear as tho it was truly outside. The flowers are very tiny, as the Moon Snail Shell is only about the size of a tennis ball. I grew the flowers myself. I did just a touch of special effects in Paint SHop to bring out the textures. Please enjoy and I'd love to see a few comments and critiques from you. Thanx so much.

A stunning still-life composition, Verena. The flowers and shells complement eachother perfectly.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

You added some vivid colors to the scene Verena. Here using natural light is good idea.

Wonderful scene here Lady V. You composed this so very well. The white flower being out of focus is a bit distracting but all in all beautiful work.

I can see you are having fun at your studio. Your cat probably loves it too.
I like the splashes of color in this one.

I really like this, Verena - it's quite remarkable how much the simple addition of the flowers has added to the image. Well done -
