Very nice indeed. It's not easy capturing such extreme whites and black and making them look natural. This photo almost jumps out at you for it's realism. Well done. -Byron

This shot looks so good I won't even mention the thin line border:-) The glass base & blue LED give this shot the added interest. Well done Techo.

I see you really want to win another challenge LOL. I *REALLY* like this shot Techo, AWESOME. Love the contrast, nice sharp focus and great composition. The jet black background makes this very rich.....a real work or art!!

Where do you come up with these unique ideas?

Thanks Nugar :-) I have a few more photo to go through from the same session. At first glance I liked this one the most.
