About the Image(s)
Continued experiments with light and shadow. This game belongs to a friend. I liked the color
and texture of the marbles so I borrowed it. Now that it is coming on summer the morning lights streams into our living room.
With the vertical blinds turned to open, it sets up wonderful stream of light.
Photo taken at ISO 1600 with a full frame Pentax K1 and a Pentax FA 24-70 f 2.8 lens. Focal length 29mm. F 7.1 at 1/60th second.
EV -1.3. I used Topaz AI de Noise.

What a cool still life photo. I really like the dull tones in this image and the shadows that add some fun contrast. It's slightly off centered which gives it great composition. The graininess from the high ISO fits really well based on the textures and the colors. Great shot! Posted: 06/11/2021 10:56:49

Mark, I love this image. Circles, Lines, and the balls in a circle. Light and dark. Like all the shadows of the colors in the balls. I made just a little suggestion. I have a visual image. What do you think? Posted: 06/12/2021 13:58:05
I like it! Makes it stand out! Posted: 06/12/2021 15:19:31
Well seen and well done Mark. The variety of shapes and shadows, lines and circles makes for a very interesting image. I feel the muted colors of the spherical marbles greatly add to the image giving a feeling of warmth. I do like the edit that Linda suggests making the whole image stand out.

Beautiful. - shadows, Shapes textures and symmetry. Not sure about Linda's edit, I takes out the added fold textures and shadows, which I think adds to the geometry. Just the way it looks to me. Posted: 06/20/2021 16:47:04
