Fruit with Violin

My first try at a still life after the 17th century Dutch painters.

Lighting is only candlelight, except for a 25 watt lamp aimed at the wall behind me. Shot at f/18 for DOF with a 30 second exposure.

Unfortunately the long exposure time creates an unwanted candle flare. But all-in-all I’m happy with the result.
