I love the idea of seeds on canvas ... good work !!!

The Continuum Pool
its great the way the seeds are positioned it seems to make it seem really realistic
this a great painting, love the colour and the composition, adding the seeds as a textural element is a really great idea.........welcome to the group im going to enjoy seeing your work. ive started to draw and paint again after a long time of just doing video and digital etc. not that im going to stop doing video etc, just feel the need to get my hands dirty again.......itll be good to get some feedback off you
This is great... I love the seeds on the canvas too! Red really pops on the background colors... love it...
Thank you so much all of you!
It looks wonderful !!

I love the seeds! Colors are my favorite, I have peppers all over my kitchen!
Oh, what a GREAT idea, using the texture of seeds like that!! The painting would have been really wonderful anyway, but the seeds really make it something unique!!

how to rate a photoraphy of a picture? rate the picture itself? sorry, i really don't know how - so don't take this rating too serious ;)

This was voted a maybe from Hit, Miss, Maybe, WHY?
I agree with the others above. Nice painting, but it's hard to give you feedback on it as a photo.
The seeds adds interest to the painting, although I can't help but wonder at the consequences for durability. Did you do tests?
As a photograph, it's a good recording with uniform lighting, no reflections.

A photograph of a painting is hard to judge as a photograph. I can't comment on the composition/colours as the photograph but I agree with manitou2121 that its well-lit.
well lit, great painting... as a photo... a maybe

Does it belong in this group??
As art I don't like it...too shiny and unnatural and as a graphic it doesn't work for me also.
As a photo I don't like it either, though it looked very promising as a thumbnail.....

Well done art piece and your exposure captured it well.
When painting shodows you might try to incorporate the colou rof the object that is casting the shadow. Bu tI'm sure you already knew that.
Like it!
Very nice!
