I like the idea, but I think, compositionally you might have made a better choice of framing....maybe even a real tight shot of the vase, foregoing the shadow.

Nice shadow work, very nicely done set shot. Great lighting, personal taste, maybe aimed a little high, but then the table might have been more of a distraction, so let's go with the benefit of the doubt, GREAT shot!!!! Photo 10 Creativity 9 B&W 10 (could you have made the table disappear more?)
total score 10 (one of the best this week)

Comment by Amphian:
Very dramatic lighting - I love the shadow and the graininess of the dark areas.

just the shadow would have been better to me

Simple but effective. Nice tonal rang in the background.

Very nice use of light and shadow. I would like to see more of the detail on the art on the vase, but that is more of a personal comment than a criticism of how you composed it. The light and shadow contrast is pretty striking.

This is a great photo... I like the lighting and the contrasts offered here... I don't particularly like the diagonal across the bottom and I think that some small amout of left side lighting that would have highlighted the designs on the left side of the vase would have been nice as well... I'm not sure of it but this photo may have been slightly over sharpened... in the curved handle of the vase, i can see some jagged edges that are sometimes produced by over sharpening... good photo!

Nice composition. Is this B & W?
