Wow. Amazingly warm tones in this sweet composition, Marie. Perfectly set up and great dof. How do you do it :) #679947Dr Silly June 25, 2007
WOW, the light brown counter, the basket what a set up for the wonderful capture. :O)Marie Fields June 25, 2007
Thanks, Nikki and Doc... Since you mentioned the counter top, Doc, I have to tell you... I stopped by the local Tile Shop the other day and asked if they had any discontinued display boards. They did and since they usually just throw them away, I got them free of charge. This one had such wonderful warm tones and it reminded me of brown sugar... So I pulled out the glass canister, filled the spoon and took the shot :)Michelle R. Kovach June 25, 2007
Beautifully done Marie. Wonderful tones & textures.It works out well to be able to get cheap props that way. :)

Another great job, Marie! #4434589Les Rhoades June 25, 2007
They don't sell brown sugar here in Switzerland,(crazy) so maybe you could load up a truck full and sell it by the "spoonful". Another great close up shot, Marie! #4434625Jeff Robinson June 25, 2007
