Description

I won't say much about the photo itself. I think the message there is clear.

However, I would really like to thank * Davenit for being extremelly kind in answering questions I had in regards to lighting and backgrounds. His help was just what I needed to get this shot done. Perhaps I should have also asked him about making blood as I'm not really pleased with the look of this one! ;)

I also have to thank +suzi9mm for her answer to my question about backgrounds. People are so friendly around here!

It took me quite awhile to be able to get the shot I wanted with the proper lighting. I'd say roughly 150+ shots were taken (who would have thought something that looks so simple would take so long to achieve.)

Technical details:
- Backlit with a very bright spotlight.
- Two small lamps with halogen bulbs were on either side of the fortune cookies.
- A light was shining direclty above the fortune cookies.
- White piece of shiny bristleboard was used as the laying surface
