This is the outcome of inspirations.

Rakesh, your style of capturing a still life will certainly influence me when I begin exploring this fine art.

I like the chiaroscuro..or shading of the white plates against the finely rendered background, all making for a unified image.

The surprise red is a real eye catcher and adds a bit of visual excitement to this beautiful image. #3677314
