Not an especially creative entry. Just another vintage textural still life. But I never get tired of this sort of thing, and it gave me occasion to revisit this shot from a nearby antique festival.

What are you talking about? Not especially creative? I can only shake my head in amazement at that. It is a true art to discover something special even in simple things. You have that gift. And right now, we have a challenge on this very topic... I’m hoping for something great from you!
The excellent HDR capture on my Samsung did probably 70% of the work here, but the bulk of the development and some initial styling was handled inside ON1 Photo RAW (my main workhorse tool these days), followed by fine color grading and detail within Affinity using Nik Color Efex and a manually blended bleached paper texture. I'm really glad the toning hit the sweet spot for several people here. :-)
