I took this shot inside of a local tea shop in Athens, GA. They have little plants on each of the tables, so I figured it might be a good contrast to place it next to the harsh metal on the french press.
Oo, very nice shot. Very nice subject -- much prettier a french press than I have, that's for sure -- and good setup, with the plant in the background to break up what might otherwise be a little too homogenous a colour scheme. I like the lighting on this, and the composition in general.
I'm having trouble trying to work out the relationship between these two objects. OK, one is made from water and the other needs water to survive. But, beyond that, I can't see it. Even their shapes and colours don't inter-related enough to suggest meaning. Nice sharpness on the metal, though.
Seems a little dark. I think you might have been better off if you moved the plant behind, closer or further away. So it is either in focus or way out of focus. It looks like it is half in focus.
