This image is painterly as in the old (very) school of still life paintings. You have wonderfully subtle hues of green throughout contrasting well with the wonderfully warm lighting, interesting POV and the painted paper is a great touch, Rakesh!!

Curious...I do not remember you ever asking for an opinion on the images you have posted..... #3536393

Wonderful Image! #3542239

Melissa A. Mannon November 03, 2006

love the concept! fabulous background...here's my personal opinion (remember Rakesh, you asked for it!) I think this photo is missing a little something that your other still lifes possess. I originally was going to say it needs more color contrast or saturation, but I'm not sure that's it. In fact, it may need less...I like the setup, but I don't see the same kind of personality here that most of your other images of this sort have. I'm not sure what I've said is helpful, but that's how I see it...Please don't attack my comments too much everyone! #3542467

Dr. Harmeet Singh November 03, 2006

I do not think that anything is left to be discussed about it. Beautiful. #3542792

Lani J November 04, 2006

Lovely still-life, Rakesh! :) #3543984

Donna W. Neal November 04, 2006

Love the back ground it compliments the still life. The only thing that bothers me a tiny bit is some of the fruit it right against and cut off by the edges. Seems like I want to see the whole bannana and lemon. Other than that it is "spot on". #3544146

Karim Abiali November 04, 2006

Gorgeous still life Rakesh, I love the colors. Karim. #3544441

OH yes this is BEAUTIFUL Rakesh I agree with Linda it should be framed and on a wall. This one is absolutely a winner!!!!! All your still life's are spectacular. #3549095

Kaye Burazin November 05, 2006

I really like how the bg so blends in with the composition. Very artistic by design. I like the colors being somewhat muted, gives it a kind of old world feel Rakesh. Oh, you know I love anything that you do, you have inspired me for so long that I don't think there was any of your art pieces that I didn't admire. Well..ok maybe one a long, long, time ago. I'm just teasing, this is another well done artful piece. #3549612
