where is the LIGHT source????

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

from above them?

half ceiling with the angle of view causing the optical illusion of a full 'ceiling' ??

just a guess


second guess would be THROUGH the walls themselves (semi light-transparent material)

Hmmm... indeed... I know where it should be...
Did you photoshop it out?
Or is it above the scene - outside the alcove out of the picture?

Looks to me like either it's been Photoshopped out of the top or the light source is outside of the frame... something like a snooted light aimed at it.

There is a fake front, the light is up in the corner between the fake front and the top of the display..

When I say fake I mean that the hole in the front is smaller than the hole that the statues are standing in.. you could fit a larger box in the alcove than you can fit through the viewing port..

Am I making sense? at all?

I'm sort of with Dean, but with a slightly different perspective.

The appearance of the framing/walls/whatever at the top and sides is exactly that - the appearance, only. They're relly a part fo the front panel, and just painted in to give the 3D look, with a significant gap between that front piece and the rst of what we're seeing.

The light source lies behind that front panel.

You can see a little fibre-optic light in the top-left of the cavity. :-)
