Today I spent a lot of time working on both composition and lighting, and I think it paid off.
I used the fibonacci spiral and golden ratio for multiple parts of this still life while maintaining a cohesive theme to each of the elements.

For the lighting I wanted to create a very soft even light to practice and understand it better. I surrounded my stage on 3 sides with white cards, and on the fourth side I used a translucent paper. I then pointed a baffled LED light at the translucent paper. I think it is quite pleasing.

This was taken on expired TXP shot at 160, devved in 510-pyro for 10.5 mins. Shot at f64 with a 5 minute exposure! Txp has terrible reciprocity. The exposure reading was only 30 seconds.

Critique and your thoughts on composition, lighting, theme would be appreciated! I spent around 2 hours working on this picture today. :D
