#10 for me

[silverbow47]

I love #2. Making forks animated or into alien life form caught my eye and is very amusing. The very graphic look of #14 is great. Also #1, simple and I like the contrast.

I will have stayed with my first choice of number 5, but this time I found all the finalists were the best we have had in a long time and they are all winners in my mind

I vote #11
I like the planetary alignment involved with the fruit.

Clever lighting and composition makes it stand out

Do a good photograph of still life, contrary to appearances, it is not easy.
The behavior of apparently natural image, the correct lighting scene, while maintaining the natural lighting is quite an art.

To do a good photograph of still life it is't as easy as it sounds.
To save apparently natural image, the correct lighting scene, while maintaining the natural lighting is quite an art.

In addition, the object photographed is not neutral, because the same fork, or their whole team is not natural, because it's a product, which indeed can be found at picture of still life, but not in the lead role.

In photography #5 showing window in cellar, i can't imagine how sun beams from this window would go straigt for the bags, it's good photo but it could be better meaybe an apple would give some sens of still life.

I choose the picture #8 wich is for me much more in form advertisment of wine but composition and lights are great and technically it's maked very good.

Well composed and exposed
