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. #1703738

My, what beautiful pieces these are, Chris. Your whole collection must be some fantastic array to see. The shadows here are lovely. #11677730

Thanks so much folks! For being a totally "what about trying this idea?" kind of experimental set up, I've been pleased with several of the results!
And yes, I do have a lot of glass at home; for 15-20 years (starting somewhere in my mid-twenties) I actively collected studio glass. I've essentially stopped collecting now - but sometimes make an exception like the mini-sized 5-inch vase in the "Ode to a Venetian Urn" image. #11677788

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. #11687054
