Challenge 428: Subtle lighting
Hello all. I'm standing in for Steve to post this week's Friday Challenge, whilst he enjoys a well-earned birthday break.

"I photographed this windowsill a couple of weeks ago, as I was struck by the subtlety of the shading on the window and the plastic bottle, and by the restrained and harmonious colour palette of the whole scene.

Can you add another object or two to the scene, featuring the same kind of lighting? Just how hard is it to match these shadows? (I've made the windowsill a little wider to accommodate more objects, which is why the handle is now off-centre.)"

High res is here.

Re: Challenge 428: Subtle lighting
Cats are cool!

And the bottle of milk

Vibeke - that looks like my friend's cat - she used to trim its fur in the summer to keep it cool - but with the kitchen scissors - it it used to look like an "alien" from a low budget sci-fi movie

Still life with marshmallow



How very strange this plethora of mice and cats. It must mean something significant.

Yes Brewell, you're right, I was wondering too why so many cats and jerries in this challenge. Mystere...
