Nice and simple - clever lighting makes it look naturally lit

Thanks John,
Because of the ext tube, I needed to get enough light in to expose the segment correctly particularly to also maximise the DOF with the small aperture used.
Post processing was less than 5 mins, a small levels adjustment to ensure the bg was constantly black and a few dust spots to remove that the flash picked up on the tiles.

Not as simple as it looks. Nice job!

Nicely done Chris - lighting is great; no burn out areas and a subtle reflection.

Subtlety is the key here, nice work.
