Hi Nick

I like the lighting idea !!! Normally we see the other end Neat !!!

Might tone down the light just a bit some of the upper tips are on the edge and best to have a softer look. Also a little over sharpened? Have to keep this set up in mind and try one Really like it !!!

Hi Nick,
I like the capture, would like to see it even tighter in frame, agree on the over sharpening...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Hi Nick - Al and Gus have nailed the critique - Like the idea!!!

Hi Nick, I'm thinking you might crop this even closer, reducing the amount of black for a really in your face look.
