cheese.keeper.nef.xmp (10.3 KB) darktable 3.2.1
A relatively simple edit that tried to keep this as close to real as possible. But without knowing what the actual colours are/where there is some guesswork involved.
BTW: Welcome to Pixls!

Thanks! I will have a look at the steps you took once I’m on my laptop. It looks good! Maybe a little dark? I don’t know, you folks are the experts not me 
Very nice, thank you 
I do tend to like my edits just a tad darker. Than again, maybe your monitor is set too dark 
Seriously though: In the end the edit that you like is the one that counts. Don’t let people tell you otherwise!

As pretty as the second one is, the first one is more true to life I think. Not many fluorescent antiques hehe (aside from uranium and neodymium glass, of course!).
Im really enjoying seeing what everyone is doing with this image

My attempt. I try to keep a very “realistic” look. I hope you like it.

@Testuda You probably have enough info to try again. 
If you have any questions about dt, you can always start a new thread or post in an existing one.

@Tim, you have unique postprocessing style. Quite strong loss of details, warm (bit too warm) colors but your interpretations of turtle or cheesekeeper have “this something”. I like it.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Nice image composition, well exposed and focused and background that fits to the flowers. I highlighted the front side a bit, and made the white balance a bit warmer after taking a sample in the upper right border of the front side of the dish.
Recommendations for the next shot:
- The light seems to come from the left side, the front side with the flowers is in the shadow. I would turn the front side into the light
- The shot was taken with ISO 640 and 1/160 seconds. You could take that shot with ISO 100 and longer exposure time. That would give you less noise.

Beautiful, thank you for the edit and the suggestions! I had two lights, one from each side… But I should have had one of them at more of an angle.
Thank you Marco! <3
