I find this VERY appealing, Monika!! Nice work! Love the pearlescence of the ornaments and the metallic caps on white background. Just lovely!! #32905

I agree with Dolores. I, too, find it extremely appealing. The lighting is just perfect and the forms are beautifully defined--a really tough think to achieve with whicte on white. I love the textures, too. Wonderful! #32929

Cool Monika, cool. Masterful. #32992

Thank you all for such nice comments on this photo!
I took a couple shots of those white ornaments, again, just for fun. I played for a while with this picture in PhotoShop; I decided not to make this image black and white, but chose one of the duotones and make the photo softer. And I knew those ornaments in this color remind me of something, but I didn’t know what... until my daughter came from school and said: “Pearls!” That would be a much better title for this picture than mine ;-).
Again, thanks for taking time and writing the comments!

Monika....this is STUNNING!!!!!
What a beautiful, soft and gentle vision this is. Bravo, hope it's a winner.
Hmmm, duotones huh....lol I can't figure that one out yet. Whatever you did is marvelous. #33467

Carol! I’m really sorry I didn’t respond to your massage earlier! I don’t know how I could have missed your comment here?! Sorry!
With duotones I started playing a couple months ago, I didn’t know about it too much, but the more I use them for my pictures the more I learn how and when. You should try it; maybe you will like them too? ;-)
Thank you for taking time and commenting my photo, Carol! And Merry Christmas to you!
