Beautiful texture and gorgeous lighting, George! Makes a rich low key abstract!
monocotylidono replied
Thank you very much Johanne, light was a combination of daylight and artificial, which ended up working well giving it this dual tone :-)

Lovely light here George!!!
Really, really lovely light!!
monocotylidono replied
Ah, yes! An intricate and elaborate studio setup. LOL The window with natural daylight in front of me and the economy light bulb in the ceiling behind me. I actually liked the two-tone reflections effect that the unbalanced light gave.. I just had to make sure that I moved out of the way while taking it, to avoiding blocking the light. :-)
