You should stop with the photoshop backgrounds, they take away alot from the pottery.

Other than that though, and its good.

agreed about the photoshop...i much prefer these more 'simplistic' backgrounds to show u'r gorgeous pieces off. and u know? i think i'm beginning to hate u. in a severely envious/love/hate sort of way. lol

I :+fav:ed this because again, as I have mentioned in other person's critiques that I do not feel that the artisan crafts section of DA is getting enough attention (probably because it's not fetish photography or anime). Anyway, I think there should be more of an appreciation for those artists that sculpt and build as opposed to just drawing, especially when things like this great piece show up on the browse page. Despite this piece being very copper, it's still quite colorful and the tree on top is very well rendered. I love the old classic marbled surface on this piece (because I know how hard it is to get it to work sometimes)... I'm very impressed, to be honest. It's a job well done.

You are absolutely right, I couldn't agree with you more. =P
Beautiful piece, I love the dark area done around the pot and the tree looks wonderful. Bravo.
