 First attempt at using my makeshift home studio using pretty much any lamp I can find around the house - I guess people will pick up on this in their voting but here goes!

This is actually a cod liver oil bottle with my own photoshop label. The 'rust' is model making weathering pigment. It was backlit of course with a light to the right and a reflector to the left.

Processing was just some levels and saturation adjustment, a red gradient to harmonise with the rust theme and some smoothing of my background texture using surface blur.

A very interesting if slightly twisted still life.

One of the few truly nice shots which actually shows what the challenge asks for. Great way to compose a picture around the rust. Good lighting and I think its the colour that draws attention. But why is the image not straight?

quite funny ;-)... I am wondering if the cap is not too close to the other subjects...
