 This is a picture of the typebars on an old Sears electric typewriter. The purple-blue light is from a blacklight sitting directly on top of the typewriter and the light on the typebar heads is from a table lamp sitting behind it. I imagine there will be quite a few typewriter pictures in this challenge; hopefully none taken in quite this way.

Nice! I like your use of DOF to have the letter on the bottom out of focus. Adds a nice dimension, and the lighting is very nice.

The best typewriter picture i've seen in this contest so far. I like the colors. I like the purple and blue lighting. Cropping the blurred part of the forground would have made this one look just a little bit better to me.
