crossed with you, Andreas. Thanks so much for your input, Andreas. Ok, i'll give it a try. I agree...i don't like how those cookies look in the glass either. I figure i must be doing something wrong with the lighting or in shooting it. I made this image for Marlene's Simon thread AND to start practicing with our lights. I think you have a good suggestion about filling the glass with something else. I'll try it and see what happens. Thanks! :)
