The lighting and color of this photo is really lovely, and would be very effective as a commercial product photo. The blue highlights picked up by the foreground tacks and the white highlights in the background tacks really add to the strength of the photo. Great job!

An atmospheric shot with interesting lighting. The indistinct out of focus areas give an air of mystery.
