I had a lot of fun with this, but I need to learn to look at the images on my computer before I pull down my setup. Setup here was a tungsten bare bulb behind and below the pitchers, which were sitting on a table, and a ceiling light with some bulbs pulled about fifteen feet away to the front right. Camera sat on the table (oh the joys of my 18-55).
Processing:
- Convert from raw (some pretty "extreme" playing with curves, white balance, exposure and other noodling)
- Crop
- Levels
- Smart sharpen
- Neat image
- Slight lowering of saturation (-10)
- Resize
- Border
- Save for web
I honestly don't expect this to do well (I probably lightened the pitchers too much in processing), but it's one of the few "setup" shots I've done that I like (though I haven't done that many setup shots as, as you can see, I don't have a studio or anything approaching it). Anyway, here it is!

Very nice composition, Rob! I also like the colors. Congrats on a new personal top 5! My only issue is the bright blob on the leftmost pitcher. Were you using your on-camera flash?
