Just wanted to thank everyone who voted and who left their helpful comments. This was my first submission to the site and the whole experience was great fun. BTW, it was a toothbrush holder on its side next to a moden-style metal fruit basket :)
real real pretty, like the horizon line that's out of focus on the left and a reflection on the right. darn pretty, really though, gonna add this to my favorites. and you get a ten for sure. wow the curving lines on the lower right reflections wrap themselves around the holes, nice. don't leave the house without your camera anymore.
I like the lighting and the focus on the subject, but I feel that, although I like the colour the background brings, that an untextured coloured background would have served you better, because the textured background is disconcertingly blurry.
I'm sorry but I can't figure out what it is. At first I thought a musical instrument then maybe an eyelet from a fishing pole. But I'm still not sure. Let me know so I can score you correctly. Sorry I can't tell. PTL
