No really the background did not make a great deal of difference.
i just find it dull and without appeal.

I really like this. When I view it at night when my room is dark, I like it more because it is so low key but I would not change it. The simple shape and lighting is elegant and beautiful. The drop is poised just right. As a large print or poster, this would be great because the "brightness" would always be proportianal to the room lighting - unlike when viewing it on a monitor where the relative brightness might be too low in a bright room.

Thanks so much for your comments... I do find simplicity and balance in form difficult to achieve but I think I've come close here. There was a little photoshop cloning to remove a peice of wire that holds up the central curve but other than that, this is how it came from the camera (shot RAW).

Eric, you mean like thishttp://www.pbase.com/charette/image/45128844 lol! I experiemented with alternate backgrounds but prefer the low-key... it brings my full attention to the subtle main character, the drop.

Too dark, and not enough appeal for me.
A background change would have helped.
