 A vase with a simple bouquet I purchased and placed in a light tent with a black velvet background..lit from right with a large light and a smaller light from left; both lights aimed at fabric from the side...levels, curves, layer applied in multiply mode to darken background more and a layer mask applied to reveal the flowers, dodged a few areas,cloned a couple of spots, high pass filter, crop.

Classical. I love that vase for two reasons. One, it looks good, and two, it's less prone to glare and reflections than standard glass.

Well done on this still life. Good luck in the challenge.

We rarely see still lifes. That's good. I like the dark/light combination. Good focus.
