Still life #2

Another one of still life. How'd I do?

Not keen on the arrangement myself, the picture on the wall doesn't seem to fit with the table.

Again the white balance looks a shade off to me.

You've made a busy incoherent scene in your first attempt even busier and less coherent in this one. You have an ornate table on which lies a pillow supporting a vertical plate with a flower lain in front, some unrecognizable fruit in a basket next to a pomegranate, all of which is draped quite artificially with what looks like a bathrobe. Then above all that, consisting of 1/2 the frame there is some abstract painting with an African motif. It looks very contrived. What's the subject? Where's the light and shadow? I think you might do better if you work with fewer elements and play with light and shadow.

My personal philosophy with still life is that you are photographing inanimate "still" objects in such a way that makes them have "life". In this I see more of a snapshot-ish product style shot, since like others have mentioned, the arrangement isn't very good.

Thanks for the comments. I will keep practising!

still life it is and nothing more
