Thanks, ya'll. When I saw this antique oil can (there's even antique oil still in it, LOL) I knew I had to have it for a still life. The color of the can is true to the object, as I only made the color of the background sepia.

So simple, and such a "normal day" subject, yet so beautiful. Your work here is terrific.

That metalic tone is terrific and the background suits it o a "t". Like Susan, I wondered about a drip forming on the tip of the spout; then I wondered if a squirt would be a plus; then I considered a drop falling into a pool of oil...then I turned off my noisy mind and went back to just enjoying your creation. Happy birthday...how come we get the present?

I already sent it...but it keeps coming back! Do you know what the Aborigines call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A stick....

Happy B'day, and my opinion is 2/3 of the background is too bright. We tend to look at bright highlights first, it destracts from the subject. If the background would be like behind the subject overall, this would be awesome! Regards

Many thanks, Thomas. It's not translating well on my screen here at work. It does look blown out on the left side. At home on my calibrated monitor, it's perfect. I might try to rework it and even out the left side. Many thanks for your great critique!
