Top middle: This was my favorite since the lighting was very clear and you can still make out shadow, using -1 Exposure compensation.
Top right: This was my favorite since I was able to the camera focus on the background clearly while blurring out the foreground.
Bottom: This was my favorite since I got to capture all of the props while being in -1 Exposure compensation, it was also a very interesting photo.
Good experimentation with compositions in flickr
Good analysis of choices. Be careful to not have light source in photo
Excellent still life of bottle and skeleton Dramatic lighting and reflections make interesting pic
