Saw the letter D while having supper tonight. I used one flash (550EX) and an umbrella for lighting. I really should have used RAW for this one because the color cast was way off. I played with Color Balance a bit to try to get it right. I like it. The only thing I'd change would be the blown out portion on the bottom of the cup ... makes it blend into the fabric. I know I'll get some flack from some people because the DOF is too shallow, but I chose to sperate the stem from the background elements.
Hi Jacko

Here are some links to his shots of "elements" or "collections of stuff"...

Nice use of DOF. Good composition. You might have a natural flair for photographing "elements". You could try using some soft yellow light on a similar collection of things -Just a suggestion. :D
