Hi Ann(s), Thank you for your suggestions regarding the background. When I originally thought of doing this, I tried it on black but didn't like the effect at all; I couldn't see the wonderful patterns in the bowl, and it wasn't obvious that the chopsticks were glass. Before submitting the pic, I looked at it with some different color backgrounds, but in the end preferred the stark white to the others. Can't redo too much now as I'm in Portland, and the the glass is in Okinawa! Helen

Helen, I really like the unusual shape of the bowl and the bubble glass effect. MFC

Something about us Anns. We tend to agree often and I was having the same thoughts about the background. I'd love to see how it would look with a black or dark background. The plate and chop sticks are beautiful and perfectly photographed.

Beautiful, Helen. I am wondering whether a different background color, or a colored frame might enhance it further. Very pretty colors. ann
