[Leica] Still Life

[Philippe]

All technically impressive when seen large.
Sharp threads and embroidery, the canvas of the painting, the droplets on the pepper, etc. plus such vivid colours.
There’s one you call Orange, Bitters, and Shell where I cannot find the orange, or is it the small purple fruit on the left?
 
My overall favorite is Variation 3 in terms of aesthetics.


And last but not least, the last one deserves for a bonus for some its content …  ;-)
