In my opinion, this is your best yet Herb.................the way the cheese board has been laid out is just perfect and the lighting is spot-on. Beautifully done sir!

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
You are so kind Kieth. I must admit that I too liked this the best of the three but it fared worse in the voting (but 3 in the top five is a good result I think.)
I know have quandary - I have more of these, - do I put more on here? If so do I continue to put them on as keeping a set or in batches? Decisions, decisions.
Keep safe. Herb

I'd save them as an occasional treat for us Herb. Single photos are best for me:-)

Like an old painting.... only a glass with red wine is missing;-))

Herb Riddle club has replied to Christa1004 club
HaHa -the wine came later! In truth a glass or bottle of wine on here would have upset the balance somewhat I think. Glad you enjoyed it all the same.
4 years ago.
Christa1004 club has replied to Herb Riddle club
You're right, the composition is perfect like that. It's only that I as a French woman always think of cheese, "baguette" and red wine together;-))

You are more than welcome Steve. This came just two place below your entry and one place below my pear study. A great competition where you showed your considerable skills in this art too.

Another super still life Herb just perfect love to have that cheese board here now with a glass of red.
Regards TOZ

Herb Riddle club has replied to TOZ club
I know what you mean Toz. We actually eat cheese every Saturday night after our mains. Normally with more choices in cheeses and biscuits than this shows and considerable amounts of red wine too....hic! In fact I usually have some pickles nearby, along with the grapes of course! - Another still life in the making maybe :)

Regards, Herb
