Wonderful. I would love to know what lighting you used. Everything is well lit but no glare. Softbox?

Wow...a top 20 finish. I am stunned. When I first signed up on this site as a novice photographer I thought it would take forever to get a photo into the top 20. Most of what I�ve learned about photography (especially post-processing) has come from hours and hours of studying the material on this site, so I owe a big �thank you� to the DPC community.

I�ve included all the post-processing steps I did in my comments on the photo. I�ve also uploaded a photo of the setup I used to get the shot:

Thanks so much to all for the great comments, and thanks again DPC!
