This was taken very early in the month, just while I was playing around with colors and light. The final result was so cool, and got so many comments/favorites on Flickr (without being explored) that I couldn't resist using it as the free study. I have some cool spring images, but I have a feeling there will be a lot of those ths month, and I would like to stand out from the crowd.
To light this I used two flashes, one on each side of the scene. Both were pointed towards the ceiling to get a bounce, and pointed slightly away from the center to ensure a bit of shadow.
