Usually I take more than one set-up of a still-life image before I feel like I have captured something I am happy with. So I started with this tiny ceramic bottle upright the way you would normally see it (but I've done that shot before) I tried standing the dried flowers beside the bottle (outside of the box idea), then ended with what you see here, the unexpected. I like the way the overhead handheld light helps with the reflection and highlights the details in the dried lavender flowers.
Have a fabulous day!
