Nice one Ray. It looks a little like tonights weather map!

Leave the spot. It adds to the picture. Great light and shadows. Rob

I likey, nice perspective.

Guest		09-Jan-2004 03:23
I like this picture. I was trying the same idea the other day.

Guest		08-Jan-2004 18:29
Hmm, shame about that hotspot - but I like the idea. Nice warm glow, too - and, dare I say it - composition!

Guest		08-Jan-2004 16:39
A very striking image, the hotspot doesn't distract the mood at all, in fact, enhances it, as previous comments have indicated.

very nice Ray! I think the hotspot makes the picture better. It grabs the eye.

I hope one day I will be as talented as you are!

Guest		08-Jan-2004 03:01
THis is really cool! I know what you mean about the hot spot, but it doesn't distract me in htis image, It's just an interesting light...hmmm....aliens?

robin statfeld		08-Jan-2004 00:52
I like the glow too. And I agree, nice crop/composition!

Guest		08-Jan-2004 00:18
Great picture Ray. I personally think the hotspot adds to this image. It helps create a distinction between the paper weight and the its shodow. Well done.

Guest		07-Jan-2004 23:15
Love this, Ray! I particularly like the crop - and that spot of light in the middle of the shadow. Very effective and very well done! Who needs umbrellas, anyway!! :p

Very fine study - fine framing and lighting - and tack sharp !

Laughing because you beat me to it! I was planning on photographing a very large marble..well guess that wouldnt exactly be the same;) IMHO...I like the light. Very nice photograph.
