I think the light is fine! Like the image Michael! This is another difficult shot to make with available light, but you pulled it off!

The glass is lying on its side, right? And the shot is from above. Perhaps if you centred it, and gave the illusion that it's standing, it might be more dramatic - that said, I like the color and the lighting ...

I like it, it looks like it's floating, or hanging on a wall...the lighting is very nice and soft. Good work!

the abstractness is great! it's a stunning image - it's tough to get good lighting when you're playing with shadows and effects. i do like the grain, though.

Great job Michael! I once read an article about national geographic photographers and how because they worked mostly in the field away from normal lines of support and without the luxury of their studio equipment...and so they improvised using pillowsheets and table lamps to create soft illum lighting...and there's no reduction in quality...what you're doing is no less different or creative! Keep it up =D

Nice one Michael - not bad for a home grown setup. Looks like a night light to me.

people use plastic boards i think. and I just noticed the distortion twisting the glass.

A fine home shot Michael. I can never light my still lifes effectively, hence the lack of them on my blog. I remember asking you a while back about the counterfeit coins shot and I recall you mentioned you shot in afternoon light for that particular one. Inside stuff is much harder though, might give it a go again, taking on board the pillowsheets advice again. This puts my home shot efforts in the shade.

I'm not going to comment on technical aspects but I like the color and they blue light shining through onto the poster board. Makes me want to play with indoor lighting.
