Still Life with Candlestick

Still Life with Candlestick
Another charity shop find. It was really dusty and dirty, but I decided leave it as it was for this photo. I added one of my textured paper backgrounds and used a grunge preset in post processing.

Xata, Jean Paul Capdeville, trester88, William Sutherland and 13 other people have particularly liked this photo

Definitely very original, Keith! Good idea not to clean this candlestick, it could have reduced the effect!
Charity shops seem to have endless items for you to create your amazing still lives, which always show your immense creativity.
Great job !

Thanks very much for these lovely comments Adele. I'm really you pleased you like my find and photo!

Everyone wins when I use a charity shop.......I get a cheap photography subject, I then donate it back, and the shop gets to sell it again..!!

As-tu vérifié que ces crânes n'étaient pas de vraies têtes de cadavres ?

They would have to have been very small humans........the candlestick only around 15cm tall :-)))

Das kommt mir so mexikanisch vor (Dia de Muertos) ;-)) Makaberer Kerzenständer, sehr passend mit diesem Hintergrundbild. Sehr originell in Szene gesetzt.

Haha, this is so weird, I love it! Background and grunge filter bring out the textures really well! Now you'll only have to find a candle that drips wax all over, preferably a black one;-)

Keith Burton club has replied to Gudrun club
Ha, ha......I like weird ;-)

Glad you like the candlestick and my processing Gudrun........I like your idea of a black wax candle.......I might have to look into that!

Thanks for stopping by.........you're very kind as always!
