Seed Pod

My daughter brought this seed pod home for me to photograph, so put on the trusty 60mm f2.8 micro and come up with this. What do ya think?

The seed pod was placed on a black onyx tile, hence the reflection. For the b/g I placed a piece of scrunched up Aluminium foil. The b/g was lit by an off camera SB800 and fill on the subject was a second off camera SB800. The image was then processed in LR3, cropped 16:9 and rotated through 90 degrees to the vertical.

I like how the seed pod looks suspended. The lower portion is a bit dark, but you have done an awesome job. Great idea with the scrunched al-foil

It does look levitated, what a great effect you have achieved.
