A shot with a single cruet with some familiar lighting and other objects.

Another fine image, Manfred. I have enjoyed this entire series from the start, and I have to admit that these simpler setups (simpler subject setup) in the current "series" are more appealing in my estimation

[Manfred M]

Thanks Martin. I agree and am continuing to explore these simpler sets. There is a very fine line between an effective image and one that is either too simple and too complex.

The other issue with simple images is that any minor defect becomes quite apparent. I do shoot tethered with a laptop, but being off even a fraction of an inch in how the objects are positioned in the frame are the difference between a strong and mediocre image.

Is the complexity of the set influenced by the final output size and, if so, in what way?

No, not really. Complexity is the result of the quantity of elements used, how they are arranged and the physical shapes of the elements.

Very nice balance!
