Happy Birthday to me. Got up this morning and the wife handed me this Novoflex tripod head. Woo hoo.

I really like your control of the highlights and contrast in the details; very defined and defect free. The shadow and composition is slightly weird to me. While the entire reflection of the object is cool, I feel it detracts a bit from the product. With advanced editing, it would be better IMO to have faster fade to black on the reflection (to tone it down a bit) and focus emphasis on the product. (I was imagining seeing this picture in a photo magazine as an add and thinking about it that way.) There are really strange artifacts in the reflection, what is that all about?
