A little corner of spain

One cold February morning I decided, along with my trusty friend/ sidekick Eric, to recreate a little bit of Spain. the day before I had spent hours gluing bits of an old wine case and some plywood, then painting it with some old congealed matt white paint to try and recreate the look of a textured whitewashed wall. We set up a key light at 45 degrees to the subject and a black flag on the right to stop any reflection of the glass walls of my conservatory.  I placed my vase (50p from a charity shop)  in the middle of the box with a flower (unknown variety).

post production was some white balance adjustments to give it a bit of warmth, some square crop and gaussian blur erased back in the middle to hopefully key your eye on the middle.
