Hi all,

I collected some items from around the house for a still life.
What do you think? What's good, what could be improved?

Thanks!
Mike

    I like it a lot, except for the loupe or lens in the upper right. Nice colors, interesting objects. And I'm even old enough to have known how to use a slide rule!

    When you come to a door... walk through it.
    If it's locked... find an open window.

    I'm old enough that I USED to know how to use a slide rule. :D

    I'm with Chris on this, The loupe doesn't seem to fit, but maybe it is because I haven't worked with circuit boards. ne_nau.gif

    Thanks for the comments. I put the loupe in there as being used to examine small details on the board and look for defects.

    Is the loupe throwing you because you weren't sure what it was for, or because it is visually unappealing?

    Thanks, Mike

    I like the loupe. Even not knowing what it is for, it helps break up the composition (in a good way!) on that side of the image.

    It's good but I think if the loupe was replaced with something larger and more interesting, it could work better.

    Nice!
    I could be wrong here, but if you lose the loupe, then you might have that "golden spiral" going onmwink.gif

    I was going to say having house blueprints as a background ("heater" and "future storage") didn't seem to fit with the circuit board, slide rule, screwdriver, and loupe (like it, btw).
    I know it's a small nit, because I really like the vibrant blue color of the blueprint. I wish they still made 'em like that. I really like the color, composition, and the apparent age of all the objects included.

    Thanks again for the continuing feedback.

    I was waiting for someone to bust me on the house blueprints :D

    My concept is the invention being worked on included a structural/mechanical component along with the electronics. You just have to not read the writing on the blueprints! mwink.gif

    The blueprints are of my house, which was designed/built in 1952 (not by me!) and the sliderule is early 1960's, belonged to my Dad. I did know how to use it a long time ago... The circuit board is from a mid 1980's vintage minicomputer. It is the size of a coffee table top and I was explaining to my daughter that todays equivilent power probably sits on the head of a pin.

    Thanks!
    Mike
