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

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. #10070411

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! #10071836

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.
