This sweet figurine/vase was my mother’s, and I’ve always loved it. I used it for today’s Flickr group challenge- Hard Light. I wasn’t sure how to go about it, but placed her under my kitchen table light, which cast harsh shadows. I then processed the image in black and white (although the piece is already white) to emphasize the contrast between light and dark.

This is exquisite. I love the focus and the dramatic lighting and that you can see the detail despite the light, especially the crackling. Beautiful photo.
I love the look of this. It is beautiful!
nice ~ I like the way the crackels showed
what a precious vase. I love the old look about it .
