Tried to capture an old carved wooden bowl ..


Color and not-so-shallow dof:



BW and shallow dof:



Darker version:



C&C appreciated as usual, this may be a weird topic for most though :dunno I just really like the structure of carved wood..

The carved wood has a nice and rough structure..I like it to!.

I think the best one is the darker one. It just feel a bit older and rougher..Wich i like!

I like this carved wooden bowl, all three shots look great.
I particularly like the #2 image.
Even though you can't see as much detail in the carving on the curve of the bowl,
I like how the head is the main focus and almost pops off the screen.

Great B&W convertion on your part

Thanks for your comments! Good to see that there are more people than me who like this kind of art

I like the shots and the subject. I find myself wondering if you also tried
different angles other than the single one selected for all 3? Just curious.

+1.

I would try a 3/4 shot of the head from above and focus in on the detail there.

Thanks for the tips guys! I'll try to reshoot with those in mind!

Ulrik,
Really wasn't trying to make a suggestion so much as I was just curious.
All three shots have merit and each is a unique capture. The dream like
quality in take #2 is my favorite though I could use a bit more DOF to get
just bit more focus to the front portions of the boat only.
Nice set. Michael
