 A souvenir from Greece. It's at least 25 years old. Couldn't get the shadows on the bottom the way I wanted, so I skipped that part.

Pretty good lighting and a simple, straightforward product shot. At first I thought I was seeing a reflection but now I see it is a tall vase. Not so sure I like the fact that it is cut off.

Lighting feels a bit flat to me. Interesting subject though.

I think the inclusion of the entire vase would have improved the composition for the challenge, advertising the entire product, not just a piece of it. The photo is tack sharp, with just enough DOF. The isolation of the subject from the background with the plain white always works well for product shots. Nice work.

Nice capture, I'm curious why did you crop the bottom part?

I really wish you could see the whole vase. Being a product shot challenge the produce should be visible.
