Composition:Oh dear....why did I have to get this one. I liked this one when I first saw it in the challenge. Oh well...okay let's give it a go. I feel there are a few basic errors in your composition. I just love the frame and the whole idea...but the placement of the subjects needs work. As you can see in the version I uploaded below, I have moved the wine glass away from the pears. I also shortened the amount of space from the subjects to the edge of the frame. I would prefer to see the bottom of the subjects too...just like in a real painting. Maybe you could have put some books under the fabric to raise the subjects up.
Technical: You did pretty well here. You were dealing with glass, fruit, black on black and the frame. I selected the fabric in PS and adjusted the levels to remove the obvious signs of the light on the fabric. I also gave the glass a hit of Shadow/Highlight. I didn't touch the pears, but I did give a touch of Hue & Saturation and Brightness & Contrast on the Frame.
Overall: I think you are onto a great series here...just play with it a little more and you will get the details to where you want. Keep up the great work.
I don't see any furniture, and on it's own, I would not associate this in any way with furniture, so just saying so in the title doesn't sell it to me, sorry.
an intresting look, I would have prefered the pear + apple above the frame not behind it, & Im sure you are going to get hammered for not being furniture in their opinion. The frame does however look like it might be pp in which im not so keen on. the reflections in the glass are also a bit off putting. Also the BG could be smoother so perhaps ironing it would have helped. Nice composition thou and plesent to lok at. Good Luck
It's a nice idea...but not sure I like the fruit cropped like that. You should have raised them up so we could see them...I think you have stretched the topic a bit as well
