I was expecting alot of still life images in this challenge, so to see one that really stands out is nice :)

I love the lighting and colour. My only (and it's super picky) criticism would be that there appears to be a *slight* double reflection. I've been told that using ceramic tiles is a good way to remove this, though I haven't tried it myself.

Nice work :D

7 It´s a very nice image, but I´m not sure about the reflection. Monochrome would have been good also.

What kind of setup do you use to get such a dark background? Was it just burned out in Photoshop?
