I love this! The glass cherries are beautiful, and the color of the cool Snapple bowl complements them perfectly. Then add in the shadows and you have created a fabulous scene. #1703738Bob Cournoyer February 10, 2018

All of the above... love the lighting, too. I've seen some of those glass cherries at a relative's place - tried some shots but nothing as effective as yours. The red and blue pair nicely. #11687054Chris Budny March 26, 2018
