Lovely one, Lance. I'm all for simplicity. This is beautifully composed, and tack-sharp. I love it.

Really nice image. I like how it enters on a diaganol then slowly curves towards the corner on the opposite side. Nice detail. The lighting looks really good as well.

I like the capture Mr. Peters. The color rendition is good with fine details. I like the simple and strong compositional balance...its well seen...the dark background showcases your subject quite well...good show...show me more from the studio...:):cool:

Agree with comments above - love the simplicity - nice one!

[Anita Rakestraw]

Nice sharp details, the red is set off nicely by the lighter highlights and the black bg. The composition is really nice.
