This is a set-up shot from my small home studio. I don't have any windows, so I took a set of blinds and hung them from a reflector stand. I shot a strobe through the blinds, and took the resulting file into simplify for a bit softer look. As always, I appreciate all thoughts and suggestions (other than taking up a different hobby) :D
Dave, I love the shadows here! Very nice lines from the blinds and the shadow from the flower and vase is lovely and well placed within the image. I like the soft painterly feel to the vase and the lace tablecloth. Very nicely done.
Nice image and application Dave.
Nice use of the reflector stand.
Dave,
Great idea for simulation window light - it works well! I'll second Denise's comments.
Thanks everyone. Sometimes the journey is just as much a pleasure as the final destination. I was really pleased to get the look that I had envisioned here.
I like the thought you put into making this image. Great vision for this and well executed.
sweet setup Dave......my only comment would be that I would like to see a bit
more highlight for shaping in the flora.
Great idea on the blind shadows.....work that some more!
Dave, I think you found the right hobby:) This is very artfully conceived and executed. It has a dreamy effect
which is really nice.
Very nice, Dave. Good lighting and shadow, and I like the soft feel. Agree with Dave on upping the highlights a little bit.
Personally for me, there is not one thing I would change in this beauty. Love the lines and what the light does with them. Very clever work IMO. Impressive.
In fact there is one thing I would change, I would frame it and hang it on a wall. Just love it.
Danny.
Dave,
This is a great lighting effect. Did you process this image brighter?
Thanks for sharing...

Thanks to everyone for the thoughts. I am going to play a bit with the highlights to see how it looks. I must say though that I do like the subdued overall feel that I got here. I'll give er a try.The file is currently in my galleries as is.
Excellent work, Dave. Love the setup and the light.
