I read your comments as I was ready to post my finished picture, and I was pleasantly surprised that what you suggested is very close to what I wound up doing!!

I have a suggestion for the bottom right corner. Rather than adding another item, why not use a shadow or darker area of table top coming in from the right border. Because the light source in from the right, an object from outside the picture could be casting a shadow that could be rendered subtly without drawing your eye to it. The darker shape would balance things out I think. Maybe set your scene up again and play with the shadow and see what you can do. It's already a great still life, but I think this might improve it without a lot of effort.Marilyn M. Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149463345362506101noreply@blogger.com
