p.1 #1 · #260: Obsession

When you have miniature versions and the real thing, it's an obsession.

This is a lighter which I believe was created in the late 50's in occupied Japan.

Unfortunately I'm still busy and unable to participate much. Comments and critiques are welcome though, no need to sugar-coat them either

Cheers,
Jason

Edit: Played around with it a little more and here are two new versions. The first is brightened, as suggested; the second, a different feel. Any opinions as to which is better?

Edit 2: Removed first image, my final choice above. Thanks for the input all, I appreciate it!

Very neat object. Excellent work. I like the dramatic lighting, but wish it was just a little bit brighter overall so I could see the real camera in the background better.

Thanks for the input Nick, appreciate it. I'll brighten it up a little later on tonight.

The camera in the background is a Cannon A1 with a 28mm 2.8, for those wondering.
