Hi Miklos,
I read the title of your image and then I saw the 'crown' and I immediately thought it was a clever composition. You are right in mentioning that the pic does not tell us anything about the world and to be honest you could be heading anywhere but I believe your note makes it for a good associative background commentary. I certainly find your image very elegant with good quality. I like it a lot.
Regards,
Maria

Hello Miklos,

Well seen, that little detail in the crown. I like it, though I needed to get used to the overall shallowness of the compo! Especially the hand is quite a big part out of focus and the background to the left is slightly distracting with the steel of what could be a kid's chair. But a good idea and well caught that little detail!

Greetings,
Dennis

TE has a dearth of food photogaphy, and this shot fits best. The bracelet is shinning and I like the OOF on the ring.

Nice attempt Miklos.

I think the composition is quite commercial; something you mind find poster size in a coffee shop. I must say though my preference would be for a wider DOF. I can see the point of focusing on the bracelet with the crown, but I have never quite got the point of "artistic" bokeh as opposed to bokeh just intended to throw a distracting background out of focus. Nevertheless an interesting post.

Hi Miklos,
I agree there's not too much we can learn about the world from this, but it's still an interesting post from a photographic perspective. With your note I can understand what you were trying to do, but like some other comments I think the DoF is just a little too shallow, although it does focus our attention where you want it. Interesting idea, so thanks for sharing!
Regards
Lee

Good morning Miklos,
nice abstractive shot with the hanging crown to be an eye catcher.I like the well managed light as some of the points of the photo, are blured and make the scene even more artistic.Well done.

Have a nice day,Danos

Hi Miklos my friend, I simply love this one, a masterfully composed picture, you have chosen a perfect crop and the shallow DOF is amazing, excellent work!!!

Fabio.

Hello Miklos:

This is a very interesting take, from an artistic point of view properly.

The focus on the bracelet of the lady, is very well captured, without diminishing importance to the other elements. Image with a strong compositional power undoubtedly good balance in the frame and great definition.

Hello Miklós,

This is an elegant composition, conveying the special mood very well!
The tight framing works well, and the sophisticated colours adds to the mood...
A fine, balanced composition with good details but I'm not sure why you use the bracelet for focus, personally I would probably pick the spoon!
