Thanks, all. The lighting was a tolomeo floor lamp--somewhat similar to a dentist's light, but with a single 75W incandescent bulb.

Why do I hear Pink Floyd in my head when I look at that amazing photo?

I think it would look a lot better if you could have lit the left side too, kind of hey-key. I think doing that would also make it pop a bit more...

Interesting idea. I do have some with more even lighting, but I think I like this better. All taste, I guess. I'll play more with the others.
