Christine -
The bw is nice, but I prefer the color too. It has a warm,
monochromatic quality and the splash of red on the face of the scale
makes the color more special. I'd prefer a crop to get rid of some of
the wall at the top of the image - to about an 8x10 aspect ratio.
The light has a small amount of direction to it but it's almost flat.
You can enhance the directional quality by adding a right to left, dark
to light gradient. I fooled with it a little in PSE6, duplicating the
layer, adding the gradient and changing the blending mode to overlay.
Samples here...I'll take them down by Sunday evening, sooner if you
like. If you'd prefer I wouldn't mess with your images at all, let me know.

I really don't do much still life and forgot I even took this until I
stumbled upon it in Lightroom tonight. I think I prefer the color.
