I really like AJHopp's still life work and this was one of the first I saw on DPC and really like the simplicity. Plus, most of my work is natural light too. This one does not do her's justice, but I had a great time and learned some things while trying.

Thank you all so much for the lovely comments. This was a really fun experiment for me. I am so thankful that I have a window with beautiful light to work in.
Thanks again.

Bravo, Mary Ann! Kathy sent me a link to your winning image, and I just had to stop by and comment. Wow, a truly wonderful honor, and your work is beautiful. I can't believe how closely it resembles my original! Well done, and a big congrats on the red!! :)
I'm going to send the link for this photo to Amy - she will be beyond thrilled that you honored her in such a way. I had thought maybe that she had entered this image or that her husband had (she married Graham and is now living in Australia; your Member name suggested that one of them had.) You nailed Amy's style beautifully. Congratulations on your Second.
Really good work, that's what I call a Déja Vu.
Only nitpicks would be the slightly cooler white balance here along with the slightly reduced saturation.
