Daily Sarah's 365 31st December 2013 - The End! (CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE ACTUALLY FINISHED!!)

Quick catch up onion and conkers are excellent the only thing that gives away the conkers looking on here is the slight shine on the stalk.

Cake looks better than mine - did you use real cream?

And as I said on Flickr I love todays feet shot.
 
Main cake just had jam in, but I took that slice apart and popped some clotted cream in it :)

Good girl - hope you had that piece yourself then - mine had to have buttercream as requested by the girlies ;)
 
nicely done - waste not want not - can't quite make my mind up about the black background..... :)
 
Excellent shot Sarah - the black background works well for me against the yellowness of the flowers :thumbs:

...perhaps I should have been clearer - it's more about the difference between the base area and the sharp transition to the black (featureless) background....
 
Thanks Marcus.
I wanted something very stark against the flowers & vase Jim, that would make them really stand out and not compete with anything else, also the flowers are dead, hence the black background, but still set up in the conservatory, so may try a white & cream option or even a textured, if I get round to that along with today's shot, I'll pop them on Flickr for a comparison for you, as I think it would work with something less harsh as well, as per your suggestion.

Jim, I've uploaded the 2 variants on Flickr for you. Let me know what you think.

Thanks Sarah - will pop over and have a look now and let you know :)

I really like the still life collection shot - works really well :)
 
Thanks for trying those Sarah - of the two I prefer the Grey version but with now the montone infinite curve the shot looks really empty now so of the three I definitely prefer the original :)

Excellent shot Sarah - love the colours and the detail you've captured of the cobwebs.. as well as the sneaky smile it made :lol:
 
Excellent variety of pictures, all to a very high standard of colour (where applicable), composition, and technical.

I don't comment on every shot but I do check them out as you post them.
