So cool. Right choice of subject. You've got that yellow light here, which probably needs to be removed so that the color and texture of the plastic of the phone can be noticed and to get better contrast between the table and phone. If you take this photo in Raw, getting the yellow out is easy with the white balance slider. You don't get any noise either.

Lise, this is my favorite kind of photography, that's why the long message. I've got a collection of typewriters, telephones and cameras from the mid-century that I'm working on (to make a collage out of).

Thanks for posting! #612728

Thanks for the comment, that was pretty cool of you. First off, I LOVE that phone of yours. Right out of Austin Powers.
Thanks for the tips... you made me appreciate this picture more so maybe I'll do some work on it.
I'd love to see your collage some time if you ever download it!
Thanks again, Lise #4004467

When you look at these two pics together, Lise, they make a set, a set that if you look at them long enough tells a story. #4004579
