Classic! Very nice arrangement of elements to form a visually pleasing image.

Very nice shot Willem, very creative use of 'artificial' lighting. I think I have heard of this technique before in passing but had never before seen a shot resulting from it. I like this shot the most of the 2 you posted using this technique.

Love the pleasing warm rich colours, the soft light, and the simple composition.

Thanks for sharing your technique, I will have to give this a try sometime.

Willem, you are REALLY doing excellent still life work. Your hard work and experience shows in almost every image I've seen of yours recently. Keep up the wonderful work!!

Wow, this is an interesting effect! I don't think I have seen this type of lighting before. The much softer background vs. the sharper foreground gives a nice warmth and texture.
