I like the blue light effect here. Nice job! Lighting is very nice. Lines and shadows are good. Storyline is good. Center of attention is good. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from foureyes
I have worked a great deal with UV light -- our family firm made them, and I used then in collecting fluorescent minerals. They do NOT make everything white glow. What you are probably thinking of is the whiter-than-white look of textiles treated with fluorescent bleaches. The UV in sunlight excites the fluorophore which fluoresces in the visible range.
Your bear ceramics presumably have a fluorescent pigment in them. See e.g.

Anyway, they are nicely positioned, there is a purple shadow cast that helps convey their shape, and the black background works well.

Wow, impressed on your knowledge on uv light....U don't know much about them, obviously, but I like to try any light source and see what I can do with them. Thank you for the info, and your review!

Good sharp focus.
The bears are cute and you have them angled nicely. The light is interesting creating a blue glow around them. I am not crazy about the totally blacked out background on this, because it makes them appear to be floating in space.

I rarely create photos to look realistic, for some reason, I enjoy the stranger the better! Thank you for our review and comments!

Extremely Creative and imagination at full speed.
Wonderful work. Simple is so much more.. Lighting and background certainly bring out the main subject to the fullest. The Black light did it.. Thanks for sharing, hope to see more. Royal

Comment from Johnny Gora
Pretty cool shot.
The choice of using black light really set ups a nice image.
At first I wasn't certain exactly what I was looking at. Was it porcelin, glass or computer generated.
Great job, very creative.

The soft but bold blue contrasts nicely with the black background. This is a very nice photo. It is well composed and pleasant to look at.
