oh i agree with you guys... it's painfully boring, but chose to stick with my 'ground only' theme take motive for taking the shot..

The face is just a teensy bit bright for me but it's an ace pov and comp. for an engaging image.

The MOL finds another pov just to challenge himself (and us) and pulls it off with aplomb. Ripper.

Masterful combination of light and shade. Big Fave.

It's a crown making a splash rather than vice versa. Liking how you've made use of the little mirror pieces in the crown and the clear beads in the crucifix.

Very first thought was that you'd photographed some dry ground in a bare paddock; then I thought breakfast biscuit. Never would have thought Tanzanaian coffee; is it upside down? Agree with bcb - perhaps a small spoon in one corner .....

Ok, it works. Nice texture but it needs something.

it's all about the lighting on this one for me. Especially, love how it's peeking thru the wicker basket.

Yeah, the mid month slump can be quite bad. Hang in there! Hope the new theme will help. Or that ignoring the theme will help

The light is so enchanting here. good choice for the post.
