Shot in a bedroom with two windows as light. I hung some white sheets over the windows to soften the light. Used a black piece of felt as the background.
The glass looks slightly curved on the right side not due to lens distortion, but, because it is. It's shaped like an elongated quarter moon. I tried to set it so the curvature was minimized.
I'll never look at peanut butter and lime jello the same.

Yum!!! NOT (I usually hate "staged" shots, but for some reason, this is believable. )I think a white plate would have really made it perfect. Nice clear focus and the composition works as well. 7
