I kept having to look at it over and over again. Really clean photo, and I think you chose the right angle.

Nice image, Greg and very nicely lit.

What is the scale of the actual piece?
Also what is the background, a roll paper type affair?

I love it. Where can i get one of those? It's one of those pics that you either love or hate and i am glad i am in the love category.

Brilliant idea Greg and you've shot it really well. Thanks for sharing that one with us.

Neat, and... nothing in the middle! :shock:

Great shot Greg, the lighting looks tricky but you pretty much nailed it.

Thanks everybody!!

The figure is about 19cm tall, ie pretty small. It was on special at a shop in Merimbula for $20 or something.

The background is two pieces of black card, under and behind.

The light is daylight though a sheer curtain with a white card held on the left to fill the shadows a bit.

Using the Tamron 70-300 at about 150 in macro mode.

Glad you all like the shot

cheers

Ah hah! So now I know what the B in Greg B stands for. ;)

Great image of an equally great artistic figurine/thingy. Good, even soft light. Only a touch of what seems like chromatic abberation along the trailing leg edge.
