Onyx Goblets and a vase of roses ....

[Clicker]

Originally did this for the O  in the Alphabet Challenge ... but have since found another alternative  so ... a still life  with a texture  overlay ... Apparently Onyx has protective powers so legend has it ......

Overall, I like the image, the texture(s) you've used work well and give an air of mystery. I'd no idea that onyx is supposed to have protective powers.

Because I can't see colours like most people, I can't read the text very well so I can't comment on that. I assume it's quite clear to someone with normal colour vision.

Good to see more arty twiddles being posted on TIPF.

Love the composition and the hues Polly. As Korky points out, the text is a little hard to read but that's easily put right. My only other thought is to give the front goblet a bit more prominence.  Lighter and a bit more saturated perhaps.  Like the idea very much.

Thanks for the very nice comments ...I've fiddlde some more ... and changed the text and shown the original too. which i was happy with  but  I cant help myself experimenting with almost every photo I take...

Yes, that does it for me. in fact I like the both of the last two.  You have used the figuring in the Onyx to good effect.

Thanks John ... ... to be honest it was the line of inlaid wood on the  table on the bottom left that bothered me originally and that led to the texture overlay to obscure it a bit  ...i should have just done a content aware process to remove it  but you know what it's like ...once you start to fiddle,...  it gets addictive ...

Nice polly - the first one of the second post does it for me with the writing easier to read, and it is still very nice with the level of effect applied.
