Another last minute effort....don't know why I am entering this..... it's not quite what I had in mind..........
Shot in my dining room, with diffused flash against a black velvet background.
Increased saturation and contrast and dropped the brightness.... resized and sharpened.

This is gorgeous... I think you nailed the exposure on this shot.. i can still see detail inside the bowl. The simplicity of the subject in this photo is definitely one of the strong points of the shot... great work.. = 10
Beautiful colours, shame about the glare which really detracts. The composition seems a bit off... I'd have prefered more bold placing of the bowl within the crop, ie centre, corner, one of the 3rds, etc. 6
