Mid-morning sunlight is striking the front of a blue glass vase with bunch of orange-pink carnations on a stainless steel counter set in front of a window with an indigo frame.

The assignment was to explore the effects of light and shadows on something. I focused on a glass vase on a stainless steel counter with a window behind it, but the sun shining on the vase and flowers from a window in front of it.

A dark figure in a dark room is looking out a window at a landscape in dim light.
