I agree that the lighting makes this shot Gayle. Very well done.

Lighting makes this very intriguing. Might just have to get over to the hat shop to check this out...

Great use of lighting to give some mystery to the shot. Love the texture too.

Yeah, I bought more bananas. No barn doors in my kitchen....the dramatic lighting was achieved by artistic arrangement of the flashlight on the bananas.
Paul, I can't believe your store hasn't heard of this increasingly popular lighting rig???? Maybe they need to import it direct. Have their people contact my people ;-)

The light is really good Gayle. You must have expanded your equipment range. Some barn doors on the lightsource perhaps? :-)

Like the lighting and 'mood' of this one Gayle. Say, where can I get me one of those lights...my local store hadn't heard of it ;-p You learn something every day - i'd never heard of Akubra.
