Emptiness

Dear fotografka,

I'm in love with this shot.

First of all, I like the overall composition: the tiny drawer being open, the chain with the pearls delicately draped along, the blurry background giving a wonderful focus on a wonderful close-up.
The colours, the deep, calm brown, the subtle yet vibrant red and the elegant, warm gold, the creamy white, even the green in the background work well together, compliment each other and give off a warm, calm vibe yet adding bittersweet feeling to this picture.
Similar for the angle and lightning; I like how the chain is reflected on the wood and how the light bounces off the tablecloth, how it is reflected on the button of the drawer. It is very soft and very subtle; did you simply use daylight?
Furthermore, all the little details on this are amazing: the way the drawer is lying down with its front, how the pearls are placed to have some small and one big one in the focus, how the chain is winding over the edge, the little folds and the embroidery on the tablecloth - everything is crisp and clear; you managed to capture every detail.

There is one suggestion I'd like to make: How about desaturating the colours, making them a bit fainter and thereby emphasising the more negative emotions in this piece? I'm really curious to see how that plays out.

Because it would greatly emphasise the atmosphere you captured: It seems like time is standing still, like the world is standing still, this kind of nothingness, of not a thing being there apart from this, of reaching out to the rest of the world, but being hold by those chains; the feeling of loneliness. Yet, there is a bittersweet beauty to it, a stunning subtle beauty, a fascination, a way to be happy in the sadness of being lonely - truly bittersweet, or being happy with being sad/lonely.

In conclusion: Everything you did here is just stunning. The only thing I'd add would be to make it even stronger.
