Nice Lesley- there is something that bothers me though. There is a horizontal line where the round part of the nut meets the cylinder. You have illustrated the opening on the top of the cylinder with an ellipse. The curve at the bottom of the cylinder (where it meets the rounded area) should match the bottom of the ellipses curve. I am not sure if the nut is a dark color or you have too much dark toning.
Hi Doug I put a comparison gum nuts shot in my portfolio. I should have made the horizontal line more curved to follow the sphere as you noticed. There is an indentation there. Nuts are dark as you can see.
