The reflection is from a mirror about 2' sq. I positioned everything against a photo black background and used my position and the lighting in the studio to make sure everything was absolute black.This was a very fun still life and won many praises from the editor.
The lighting really gave depth to the image though and that took a little experimentation.
Thanks for the comment and question. It made me think about the how and why all over again. #9469264
