So what the heck is that orange thing in the water you ask - it is supposed to be a moon or maybe the harvest moon - but it didn't come out the way I visualized.

Set-up
Take some textured black paper from scrapbooking

Suspend a shell medallion about 7 inches above the bowl with fishing wire attached to the ceiling of the garage.

Natural light flooding into the garage and a helper to flash the flashlight on the underside of the medallion

One black ceramic bowl filled with water. Position such that the 'moon' is reflected in surface of water.

One small flower to float in bowl. One sprig of Snow On The Mountain to adorn the side of the bowl.

This is really striking. And... it gets better with each viewing. The distinct color highlight changes on the inside of the bowl's rim are especially effective. And... I'm intrigued by what reflected orb in the water may actually be. Works on lots of levels. Kudos.
