    Beautifully lit Chris. The amount of black space you’ve left in the frame is also an excellent chioce.
    Nice work.

    I’ve looked at this piece a couple of times – in terms of style, it’s not something that I’d hang on my walls, but the technical aspects of the work are excellent, and the creativity and time involved to complete are quite apparent. Nice studio piece.
