vintage still life...

i struggled with this week's challenge - a lot.

i tried friday night, saturday and again on sunday... 

not sure what my issue was - or is - but i am thinking

i need a different lens so i can get shallower depth of field.

i stood on the couch, on a ladder, across the room, e t c.  

still didn't get what i was seeing in my head

but this came closer than the other attempts...

 

i used two of kim klassen's textures - revolution, soft light and silence, multiply 100%.

i added of gradient map and hue/saturation.

and this was my set-up...

i could have filtered the sun to get more of a moody feel

but was liking it.   kinda :)
