Yes I agree, it has a human suggestion to ot. Love the warm tones and shading along with the contradictory softness of such a hard object. Wonderful Dan.

This is so cool on many elements, Dan. It looks like the back of a person, done in a very art history way. Love the shading, and a perfect choice of coloring. I think this will catch the judges eyes.

  There's something so very sensual about this image..it's more than a vase...it could almost be the neck and back of a person...soft. The lighting is exquisite as it bathes the subject in such a soft glow! EXCELLENT as it makes me wonder and want to stare at this for a time.

  You really had me fooled there for a second, Dan, on the first sight it seemed like a gracefully sloping line of someone's neck and shoulder, very beautifully lit. Definitely a winner - and I love the warm tones!!!

  I also at first thought this was the neck and shoulders of a woman with tungsten light--I love it, the smooth grace of it. Nice work. Mary
