Ladle with the lamp | Submission for Click : Metal

The ladle originally belonged to my great grandmother, who is too old to cook now. I was fortunate to receive something so beautiful from her kitchen collection.I felt that bright sunlight or harsh fluorescent light, would not do justice to this piece. The gentle flame from a small brass oil lamp, which is a beauty by itself, seemed to be the best partner to a ladle that's aged like fine wine.
The picture has been taken in day time (noon if you may), with the kitchen balcony door closed, thereby darkening the room, kept over a black background and in the light of a small flame.
These are 4 of the 30 odd pictures I liked best (the top one being the strongest contender). Yet to decide which I must send for the Click - Metal event as it is my first participation. I've never considered myself a creative photographer, hence stayed away from the event. This time, Nag's post for the previous round inspired me a great deal.
I guess I will take the help of friends in deciding which to send :) There are still a few days left until the deadline.
Update: I have decided on the first picture - thanks for helping me decide. It was a tough choice between 1 & 2 Vs 3, but had to choose one of them anyway!

Thanks to all you dear people who have been so encouraging and helped me get over my cold feet in participating in a photo event.
Hugs!
thanks for a lovely entry, dear nandita.
No.1 is lovely. The colours are deep and gorgeous.
I am tempted to crop the 3 photo. :-P Try cutting out the right side. The reflection of the lamp/light in the ladle looks like the sun setting in a deep pool.Enlarge the outcome and check out how it looks. Am no photographer , but sometimes I have a strong way of seeing things..so the suggestion.
Awesome pics. i never seen.
I love to see these pics.
