Nice artful shot. Lovely tonal range and very interesting lighting. I like the way the objects are rendered with great detail, as well as the movement on the light bulb. Great shot!

Still lifes usually lack "kinetic energy" but the tilt and light bulb are what put that into this one. I like the lighting angle on the objects and the background control to keep it pitch black. -- John

Fascinating shot, with a little more to it than first meets the eye. The vase is tilted relative to the surface, and the cover of the small glass box is off-axis too, which gives the whole composition a slightly strange alignment, but you don't notice it because of the tilted frame. Normally one expects the man-made objects to be regular and perpendicular, while natural objects are "fuzzier". By putting the flower in sharp focus, and giving a slight misalignment to the glass artifacts, one's expectations are reversed. Well done. P.S. Is it in fact a glass flower? One can't quite tell at this resolution.

I kept looking at it for longer than most pictures, but I still can't figure it out. Great!

Sorry Mr. Mac the flower is made in korn paper

The combination of sharpness, translucency, and backlighting make it an attractive photo. It's difficult to see where the flash is coming from, so that's a plus, in my opinion. Brian
