Zinnia Still Life
Not a very creative title but the best I can do this morning. I set this up for the BetterPhoto FFFP Club's August challenge (still life this month) thinking I would like the crisp white table against the bright green wall but the contrast line where table met wall was too bold and badly placed in the composition so I decided to soften the definition and ended up with this. The crackle on the pot is natural to the glaze; the background crackle is actually a close-up of the side of the pot applied digitally as a layer. And after all this work, I ended up not using it as one of my submissions to the contest :)
