Description
I love this old damaged tea pot...This is a shot I took during my summer holidays in the south of France.
This HDR image has been composed using 3 different handheld photographs (very bad idea but I didn't have a tripod unfortunately) so I've had a hard time working on it
There's no photomanipulation involved at all, just the HDR process (and the pole distortion is fully natural, that was the actual shape of the tree which has been used to make this pole).
Canon EOS 350D
Canon EF-S USM 60mm macro lens

I don't think I need to mention how absolutely fantastic this photo is, but I will anyway. I have seen many photos that I love here on DA, but in a way they are all the same. But this photo caught my attention and hasn't let go of it. I've given you five stars in every section because it really deserves no less than that. I've never seen a photograph quite like this, and it sure does have quite a an impact. The colours are magnificent, the sky really works well with the colour of the tea pot, which looks like a Genie bottle. This is really a magical photograph. It wouldn't have the same powerful effect it the spout of the tea pot was inline with the sun; you've placed it perfectly.
In my opinion this is a perfect photograph. I thank you for sharing it with the DA world! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hโฆ " width="38" height="15" alt="
Also, I suggested this pieces for a DD, you really deserve one. :]

Oh wow, thank you so much for your kind words and indepth feedback
I honestly had very mixed feelings about this photograph when I first took a look at it since I would have liked the whole scene to be focused instead of having such a strong bokeh but I didn't really thought about it when taking this shot as the sun was vanishing quickly...
I just took a fresh look at it some days ago then really appreciated it since this bokeh makes the sun more abstract and more fitting to the "genius of the lamp" concept. I guess I'll give it another try with a fully focused scene someday though, just to see if it would look better this way
Thanks again
Thanks again

You are very welcome :] I think it looks amazing as it is, but going back and giving it another try wouldn't be a bad idea at all. Maybe the second photo will be better :]
