Iterations and progression...
Happy New Year!! Today marks my 10 year anniversary of being a Flickr user... (although my first photo was taken 10 years ago today I didn't upload it until the 10th, so maybe that should be my anniversary?). Either way I should probably have uploaded a more memorable image!
I realise this might be getting a bit boring (though if I were taking macro shots I'd probably upload just as many!!), but the steps toward a photorealistic and believable scene are many and small!
This one is similar to an earlier composition, but has added dust (and quite a lot too) which adds quite a lot of realism I think (certainly if I owned a chess set it would be this dusty). There is more depth to the colour too. Don't want it too bright, as I imagine candlelight or the glow of a coal fire somewhere in the room.
Things can't look too perfect or the eye/brain can spot they are fake - so I understand.
