A really neat oriental vase my parents have, taken with a flourecent light on the left, and an incandescent light on the right, both slightly behind the vase, leaving the very center in shadow.
(the title means "in shadow" in Italian)

this could have done with a very slight Clockwise rotation - the wonkiness is a little bit distracting. the position of the lights works effectively though, and i like how one light is yellower than the other. but i might add that by coming in closer you would ahve picked up on the grooves on the vase more obviously. i only mention that because the vase seems to have an interesting texture. 5.
simple, yet elegant. i like this shot very much. at first look, it did not do much for me, but as i looked for a minute, it grew on me and felt good. (like to know the secret of that effect, hehehe) nice work.
I find the background here a lot more interesting than the vase--the play in light between the cool gray on the left and warm yellow light on the right is great. The vase itself is tilted (intentionally?).
