White cotton living room curtain pulled up across a table. Table lamp to the left. Weak fluorescent light shining up behind curtain. Flash with yellow diffuser bounced off upper right wall and ceiling. Put a hand between diffuser and subject to keep direct flash from hitting it. Flashlight with tissue paper diffuser shining up at pot from right/front to take out some shadows. "Incandescent" white balance camera setting.
I enjoy the painterly feeling of this photo. I think a little more contrast would help to bring out more details, but I think you did a great job of composition and adding interest to what might have been a mundane subject.
Though you have a nice composition, i think your image is too dark. Maybe you sould have exposed it more or at leats edited it, in order to get the white background to actually seem white.
I love this little still life. It's captivating. I'm not one who feels the background has to be stark white to meet the challenge rules, but I personally would like to see it a bit brighter.
