>>4376494this looks very nice in terms of execution
I think the chayote is overexposed in its brightest reflection spots, and looks a bit too bright overall
I love how black the background is, the whites are very bright and the greys are very pleasant
it's very nice how large format gives such detail on the wooden blocks, the ring lines are beautiful
aesthetically speaking, it looks like a very well done study
the farthermost wooden block (the one right behind the bottle) looks misplaced, it's too tall and it feels like it doesn't belong there
the blurred shadow cast upon it is distracting (and somehow annoys me, I can't quite explain)
I feel like it would be better it the block were still there but way lower, like 1cm lower than the wooden block to the right, framing the bottle, it would be great – and the chayote's tendrils would stand out more, just a very white and bright, delicate, organic shape over the solid black background
it would feel more balanced too
and there wouldn't be that little distracting shadow near the top of the left wood
even if you chose to keep the back plank there, it would be nice to have it just a tiny bit further just so you don't have that shadow
the physalises' veiny leaves are beautiful, and I like how they're placed, and how there's a closed one resembling a tiny pumpkin and one coming through the leaves
the cobwebs are very nice too
as a suggestion of something I'd have there as well, I'd say some mushrooms would be nice
their textures tend to be intricate and fluid, I think it would go along very well
that's it
