 My mother has this glass table in her kitchen, and I thought of the idea when I was there last Summer. Visiting for the holidays gave me another opportunity to shoot it. I certainly don't expect a ribbon contender, but maybe it'll make a few people smile. Special thanks to my brother Britton for modeling (he's the one on the right). ;-)

The setup consisted of a single umbrella monolight bounced off a wall behind me to balance the strong background window light. I was standing on a step ladder, and we were using cheese and beef jerky to get the dog's attention. A steak would've been nice for the plate, but I didn't have one handy.

Processing: Convert from RAW, Luko unsharp mask routine, channel mixer for saturation, Noise Ninja, USM, clone out fingerprints on table and a little piece of the center pedestal on the left, dodge the shirt, channel mixer again for B&W conversion, HSL for slight sepia tint.

This is interesting and quite different. The focus is amazing. It doesn't have the wow factor some might want, but it is very artful and unique. 7
