 Found this store on Walnut Street in Philly with this marvelously lit display of soaps. Shooting was a bit of a problem because the glass front door had scratches and muck on the both sides and it was hard to find a clear area to shoot through. I shot on 3 successive nights but one was before the challenge was announced....went back twice after.

The amount of times i have been dragged into shops like these.
I think i can even recognise some of the bath bombs (OMG, i think i need help)
Anyway... A lushious image (sorry for the pun)
Good luck

This would have been good for soft focus. It really accentuates the colors of the soaps. Very nice!

Was this a "found" lighting, or did you create it? Really exceptional. Maybe could use a touch more sharpening, but I also recognize the softness as a valid design decision.

These look more like bath bombs to me :) Interesting glow.
