Still Life

I've always appreciated Jan's photography, and I'm fascinated by her explanations of what she does and also her evaluations of other photographers. That doesn't mean I really comprehend it!
Then she showed me a book called How to Use Light Creatively from HPBooks, and suddenly I wanted to give it a try myself.
This still life of a pussy willow branch is my second attempt at shooting something. I know it has its problems, but it's nice for an amateur, isn't it? If I didn't know why before, I know now why Jan is exhausted after her shoots. This took me hours.
