Thanks Thomas,

Again, from a technical pov there is little here novel or worthy of 
mention: lathe, glass texture, couple of spots.  It is more about using 
simple means to get an emotive image. That is to say, letting the image 
drive the use of effects rather than trying to model to some standard of 
realism.  The monochrome color, flat field, and object placement is 
similar to how I used to paint.  In fact I see this whole image as 
"painterly".  The image is satisfying for me in ways I can't explain or 
analyse.  Probably I am just easy to amuse.
