Is this what you’re planning for dinner tonight Gilberte? Hold on, I’ll be right over. Looks lovely. Who is Faustino I ?
That’s a wonderful photo with the dark background to contrast with and hi-lite the objects.
Gilberte replied
I am planning some more Warren, I am no vegetarian.When I saw all that fresh fruit, I first had to take a photo before using the oranges to make orange salad with candied orange peel to accompany “escalopes” of turkey and baked tiny young potatoes.If this suits you, I’ll wait till to-morrow because with the difference of time, everything would be cold when you arrive.
Faustino I ?Could be a Spanish Prins but when I looked it up at google, I only found the description of my wine.
Glad you like my picture and hope you’ll like my dinner.

This is beautiful, but I thought the bottle of wine would be a Statue of a Prince…
Gilberte replied
Thank you Angela;on the bottle is only the photo of a Prins.the bottle is ornated with golden thread.
Irene Burdell
This is a stunning still life Gilberte , your best to date.
Gilberte replied
Thank you very much Irene for liking this shot and saying so..
Tessa Bishop
Superb still life, so imaginative and well executed
Gilberte replied
Thank you very much Tessa for your visit and nice comment
Claire Farley
Beautiful…. my wine glass is empty! Lovely shot.
Gilberte replied
Thank you Claire..my door is always open…if you like some wone, come along!
Anthony Vella
This , my friend Betty , is EXQUISITE. One of the best I’ve seen on this site. Your composition is well balanced and perfect, your colours are well chosen and your lighting is spot on. So you like Spanish wine too. That Faustino I looks like a Gran Riserva 1996 Rioja 75cl bottle, one of the Reds which goes well with fish dishes with strong sauces….very inviting.
Gilberte replied
Thanks Tony my friend for the EXQUISITE.Among the best, don’t forget your own still lives.
Yes there’s very good Spanish wine.This Faustino I is a Gran Reserva 1982 and the bottle is numbered.
I know you like fish very much but this time it will be poultry as I described to Warren.If you think you like it, you’re welcome to-morrow to join us.I can make it vegetables for you cos the syrupy oranges are not good for you.
Marvin Collins
Awesome work Gil, excellent exposure, perfect composition and beautiful set up!!
Gilberte replied
thanks very much Marvin.As you will see I have invited my other friends..you’re welcome too of course.

Wonderful work, Gilberte, I liked the light and composition.
Gilberte replied
Thanks my friend…if you care to cross our bridge…you’re welcome..but I suppose you are vegetarian..
Alan Findlater
very nice range off colours and great composition
Gilberte replied
Thank you Alan..nice of you to visit.As soon as the weather changes, I hope I’ll be able to photograph another statue.
Thordis

Dennis Gay
G’day Gilberte,
This is an extremely good still life, reminiscent of old masters paintings.
The lighting and exposure are excellent, the items are a very interesting and well balanced variety and are arranged very well and the composition is great.
Depth of field and focus are spot on, the contrast in wonderful and the colours absolutely grand.
Very, very good work that girl!

Another very beautiful still life. I have some wine bottles and decanters and I was just thinking the other day of arranging them into a still life. You have inspired me to do so.
Gilberte replied
Thank you Suzanne; I also have a whole range of wine bottles which I keep not knowing exactly what to do with them.So I used the most beautiful one.
Gilberte

George Petrovsky
Ma chere Gilberte!
Medala de Oro to you!
(Could he be the younger brother of Faust, painted by one of the Renaissance artists?) :)george
Gilberte replied
Mon cher George,
Muchas gracias por la Medalla de Oro.
Maybe George, as he could not have eternal youth, as his brother tried to obtain, he had his portrait painted.Another way to be eternal!! Good suggestion George.
Hasta luego
Gilberta

A wonderfully balanced composition. A magical still life….like one of the old masters paintings….very Rembrandt! I like it a lot!

beautiful classic photo. and gefeliciteed voor uw nationale dag ! en alles goed bij huis !!
Gilberte replied
Thank you Susan also for remembering it is our national feastday.
Het is onze nationale regenbui vandaag.Wij plannen niets voor de 21ste; het regent bijna altijd!!Erg voor de revue (stoet).Ze zouden die dag moeten verplaatsen.lol
coffeetea
regenbui ? rainbow. interesant. Jullie hebben 2/3 delen in uw land….etc. so moest regenbui….?
maar jullie hebben een beetje probleem in the sameleven . I try to understand the story :)))
Ok , ik zoek de word ” reveu ” , interesant omte leer iets door dit maneer.
Gilberte replied
regenbui is a rainshower, a downpour not a rainbow.
No story, no problem Susan; we are all friends only polytics try to divide people to gain votes..I think it’s the same everywhere.
Revue is a french word but used in flemish too.
There’s a tribune for the King, Queen, Prinses and personalities who watch the review.(soldiers, aviators, red cross, tanks, canons etc) Maybe you can see a bit of it to-night at TV at 7 o’clock at BRT.
coffeetea
ok. stoet -parade. i thought so too.

Thank you J.K.York for favoriting this work.
I thought I deleted my first comment to rewrite only one instead of two after seeing you favorited my work and then I saw you disappeared with all your beautiful comments.Must be a mistake of mine.I am so so sorry!
