  Yum. Isn't it neat how vegetables make such great still life's? I like how the green tones run all through this image.

Okay, so should I bring the bamboo steamer, Mare? Dinner at 6:30? :P

  6:30 it is, Pom, and bring that steamer! Bobby is joining us, and I think Heather might, too.
Thanks for commenting, all of you! You know I appreciate it!

  I remember this one, Mary. Sooo decorative and it's almost a shame to eat them, isn't it. This is such a beautiful image. Very sharp details and a lovely setting. Very original too. A winner in my book.

  This is Superb work Mary, a Winner and favorite for me. Love the tones and grades of green here, starting with the vivid green on the table to the delicate tones of the asparagus and of course the light green hue on the wall makes the whole thing stand out. Very well done!

  Thanks so much for commenting, Inge and Phil. I appreciate your positive feedback.
Speaking of feed and food, Phil ~ these were just as enjoyable to eat as they were to photograph. :)
Happy Easter to both of you!

  G'day MARY!

My heartiest Aussie congratz for the EP.

I quite like this vegetarian still life, mainly due to its simplicity and lovely greenness.
The lighting is very effective and in line with the simplicity of the presentatio.
While the arrangement of the spears at first looks simple, I feel it to be the factor that gives this image its success.
