Tried to make a still-life invoking the idea of looking back in time to the late 16th century. The items in the image are all from this period, the box being Welsh and the candlesticks Dutch or English.  Added a layer of texture (actually a scan of the leather cover of an early book) to give the image a grimy look.  This was a bit of an experiment so would appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.
4x5, 150mm, Provia 100F.

Large, detail image provided.

Thanks in advance for your ideas and comments.

Make a few images, well.

Vance,

thanks very much for your nice comments on my photos. I wish I could compose my comments as you do.

I like the idea of this image and the oil painting style you have chossen works fine for me. The moody light of the candles create also the right atmosphere of that time.

  
All the best, Cay-Uwe

I like this a lot, Vance. The light is subtle and the details come across very nicely. When I first looked at this a few days ago, I was on the fence with respect to added texture, but now I find it is growing on me. Nicely done, sir!
