Thanks folks, though I'm not entirely happy with the background which is a bit uneven due to stray kitchen reflections that may have involved the subject as well, and I just haven't had time to fix it in PP. The overall mood was via ceiling bounce flash (a couple of stops UX) on to the blue cloth background. The penguin was accentuated with a key-chain light that uses a single white LED. Truly this is one of the most marvellous little novelties I've bought in ages. It's had a heap of use in and around home and car for all manner of things, and its lithium cell seems like it's going to last forever. A fascinating and versatile light source with bluish-white light of remarkable intensity, and I just used Sunny WB for this without bothering to fine tune it. FYI here's a shot lit the same way but with no background flash. - Mike

Beautiful lighting, color, and composition, Mike. This simple scene feels so cold and so natural for that little, glass penguin. Well done...and a good idea. MFC
