Amy, can I ask what you mean by "add alot of warmth to give an aged look" more specifically? This is stunning and always causes me to stop and pause...

Window-light is the right choice for this picture. Or to put it differntly: it wouldn't have been the same picture with studio light. If anything, the shadows of the pears could have been a bit less heavy by using some means of relection.
Post actions
Natural light is beautiful in these instances. I wish to have a studio equipped with large windows so I can use it more in my images.

OMGosh, Amy! What a thrill to see you with the Blue! Your Still Life photos always hit my Favorite List; glad to see that so many others felt the same.

Too much editing imo, looks like a painting. But nice detail with the shadows, and the vignette is another nice touch.
