Simple is hard!

simple vases

I have to admit...this was a bit of a challege photographically for me.  I have a hard time with simple.  I had to add a layer to this, because it looked too plain.  But simple and plain and not the same thing...far from it!  It takes great skill to capture the essence of simple.  But man oh man...once you do...it's a beautiful thing!  I am so inspired by all the photos posted here.  This was a great topic this week and it made me work on a subject that is hard to behold.

    My daughter has the same vases. They are lovely all in a row. She displays them just as you have here.

    I think white is very fitting for simplicity. I love the texture and the photo.

    I think you are right in feeling it is harder to do "simple" well than it is to do "complex" well...that being said you did an excellent job!...Love white on white...

    white is the absence of color, simplicity is the absence of complexity...beautifully done!
