 I wanted to do something with this venetian-stucco wall for a long time and i decided to use it now. So, a still life study for this challenge with one SB-800 behind this vase with the drained flowers (sorry but i can't remember their name). I would like a little more light on the side of the vase but this flash is the only light source i have with me, as we're in the middle of the summer and i'm still on vacation. :)

PP (levels, curves, selective colors, USM, add border, save for web) was done on my laptop, so i'm not so sure about the final image. Any way i like the colors and the overall feeling of this photo...

Very nice lighting. The composition is good. I think the image could be a little sharper.

To me if just few more of these thigs were illuminated/backlighted, would be better. Kind of missing one branch right in the middle upper part. Am I looking for perfect match to my taste? 8 :)

Nice image - Nice colours - The backlighting is a little harsh though and unnatural looking.
