$12.99 red wine that I might or might not drink
$6.99 for burgundy gerber daisies and asters (too tall for the shot)
$5.99 each for red and purple grapes, only one bunch of each bag were shaped right for the shot
$9.99 for a flashlight that was too strong for the shot, ended up using one I had all along
Getting an image that makes me happy - priceless!
I like the old masters look of this soft light, I hope the voters share my vision.
Painted with a small flashlight covered with black pantyhose, then my hand, letting only tiny bits of light through to paint my scene. PS mostly involved adjusting curves/levels & selective color to minimize a warmish (almost hot) spot. sharpen and remove noise.

Looks like they didn't, which is a shame. I gave this one a 9. Only a suggestion of too much light on the gerberas for my taste stopped me adding it to the two 10s I gave.
Beautiful light on the grapes and the bread and just enough on the bottle and the glass to give some sparkle. I suppose people were looking for neon streaks ;)
