Excellent entry Susanne. I understand the technique more and more with each entry. This is a perfect example. Good luck but I don't think you need it. This has "gold medal" written all over it.

The lighting gives it a 3D effect and the contrast between light and shade is strong. Good luck in the contest, Susanne.
