Breakfast colours

Today I tasked myself with capturing moments of my sunday with my son on our men-only-weekend as the wife is out of the house. This is my breakfast (standard issue on the weekends: Bun with honey, one with cream cheese and blueberry jam). I learned a lot from you guys in other playraws about controlling colours and local contrast. It is by far an artistic masterpiece but I found it fun to play with the colours here.

We used to have aa mug almost exactly like that (it was my son’s when he was a kid). Based on my memory of that mug, you nailed the hue and saturation! It might be a tiny bit blue/washed, as it should have picked up a little of the color from the placemat…but this is splitting hairs imo. Great job

I hope you don’t expect some higher art. If so, I would wait for @lylejk I at least tried to push it into that direction with a nice frame.:laughing:

I hope it doesn’t come off as too Wes Anderson-ish.

OK Popanz; haven’t done a real still life if quite a bit (consentrate on found object art). Why not blend some DAP with FotoSketcher and more than a few G’MIC tricks, and voila. lol

Thanks for your take(s)!

Not a mousepad but a placemat for my son ;-).

Hi @mino - Nice composition!

Unlike @Dito_Budi I leant hard into the Wes Anderson - just to see if I could. :smiley: - I’ll let you judge whether it worked…
