SOTC 39/365

Crystal Burst, SOTC 38/365 by gina.blank
This was not the shot I was going for.

This is what I originally had in mind. A nice vision, to be sure. An S-curve, a contrast of colour, of texture. And it's not a bad shot, really. But, what came half an hour later--after inching the vase left, right, around, switching rooms, using two flashes instead of one, and coloured gels to boot--was, to my pleasant surprise, a way more exciting image.

...This photo brought to you by -25C, and a no-extracurriculars evening.
