was fooling around with studio lights. (: not a fantabulous shot, but i daresay it's still pretty pleasing to the eye.

It's pleasing, and a surprise. At first I didn't know what it was. You've shown the texture so well, the velvet is palpable.

A very good experiment! Light and dark background really brought out that colour.
