A new addition to my "Year in still life" series - August :

Two nicely arranged and lit still life images. The black black background is effective and the gentle fold add to the composition. Of the two images, I prefer the second, with it's slightly higher point-of-view and more textured elements works better for me.

The only area that you might want to look at is that both crops feel a bit tight, especially at the left and right. That being said, this is a very minor issue.

Excellent composition, lovely colours, and very well lit. Thanks for sharing this with us David.

Here's the first one with a slightly wider crop - do you prefer that ?

That opens up the image nicely.
