12 Still Life Photography Mistakes (and what you can learn from them)

All awesome but I like the one on the bottom the very best!

Hello, Emma!  This is such a beautiful set of images, I'm not sure I'm able to give advice =D Its actually the kind of images I struggle the most with, as I tend to go wild with colours and find it extremely hard to make something so delicate and subtle as this =) One thing maybe is to take more into focus on the picture two. The depth of field is very shallow and maybe it will look nicer if more of it (like the tip of the aloe) would be in focus. But then you will probably have to iron the kitchen towel so that the folded creases will not be a distractions =) But Im being very picky here, because you asked for an advice. Otherwise I really love your images! Very, very well done!

Thank you so much, Mariya! Actually these are great advices! I feel like it's always more difficult to review my own photos - I was always wondering if there's something going wrong but just can't figure out what exactly it is. Now I got answers and I really appreciate it! :)

Look forward to your new classes!! 

Yeah, self-critique is the hardest thing! You either don't see or demand too much from yourself =D But I still think you made a truly beautiful set of images. 
I was wondering, are those VSCO presets your used to edit?

Hey Mariya,
So glad to take your class, it's very detailed and easily understood. Love the practical tips!
Here are my recent photos of aloe juice. Any suggestions are highly appreciated!
