Wait

@Johnno: Well you should know, since you're my first target anyway. You live on ground zero. Sleep tight. :-D

@Beatriz: Thanks, Beatriz. :-)

@ajoeh: Hi again, ajoeh. :-)

Yeah, the purple "jewel" light on my guitar amplifier is really bright in comparison to what I was using to light the scene (a hand-held mini flashlight with only two little white LED lights). I wanted to keep the dramatic brightness of the "jewel" intact while having the mirror-finished chassis underneath disappear into the dark, highlighted only minimally. I still like the strong contrast it yields but might try again later when I can come up with more creative lighting. Thanks for your critique. :-)
