I am back! Sorry it took so long. I had to help my friend get ready to sell a house in Wells, NV. Big project but now complete. I have lots of catching up to do as I have not even kept up on email. I will be catching up with the club over the next week or so. This shot was taken for the challenge in January, which is how far I am behind. This was artificial light indoors with a small led flashlight used to light up the little glass ornament.

This is very cool, Mike. Love the color pallet. Not much to critique on an image like this other than perhaps selecting the sculptor and applying a 100% multiply blend to the background. Then apply a gradient mask starting at the bottom to about the top of the curly cue on the stem. Those changes and perhaps a bit of high pass filtering would help separate the top from the background.

Very appealing image, Mike. I have no suggestions to make it better and like it as is. Dale has some good suggestions though.

Thanks Dale – as always appreciate the suggestions and here is the result which I like a lot. Thank you Susan and as above here is Dale’s suggestions. Oh Sherry would get you big time Jeff! She was not even very happy I took this out of the curio cabinet to photograph much less to say blow it up.

Nice details and lighting Mike..I think the edit works well. I wasn't sure if Jeff's comment referred to making a large print or making it explode...

Sorry about the double image – surprised me too. Thank you Tony – yup I am sure he meant the destructive type of blow up. Thank you Beth – good to be back and I am so happy these projects are done. Now I can return to my lazy retired ways again. Thanks Rita – I missed you all and the great photos. I need that exposure to make my creative juices flow.

Yes Mike, Dale's suggestions have achieved what he promised and I am glad you mentioned the 'double image' as I was wondering what I was missing as they looked identical. An interesting lighting exercise well executed.
