Weekly challenge #101-Still life

Weekly challenge #100-still life
Ok so the challenge is still life and any way you'd like to interpret that. It could be a macro taken indoors at the kitchen table, something done outside that you set up. Generally a still life shot is meant to be a set up shot, were as most of the rest of photography is recording something we observe. So this is you using your imagination to create your own shot.

I'll look for ideas for a creative idea and good use of the light. Below is an example and that's been heavily altered to create a mood. The second has not Post processed at all. But your shot doesn't need any photoshop if that's how you want it.


The closing day will be midnight the 27th June. I'll announce the winners on the 28th


The rules are as follows...

1. Post ONE photo (max 1000x1000).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme. It can be color or B&W, your choice.
3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and chose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera will do or a Samsung DSLR.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.

I guess a shot of a miniature model house qualifies as Still Life.
