Nice window light streaming in from an elevated window onto a wall-mounted display shelf?

Not at all. This is basically a flat-lay. A display shelf set horizontally on black velvet with northern light streaming in through a sliding glass door. Except for the plant, the display elements are supported from underneath by wooden children's blocks. I checked the metadata on the image, and it appears this photo was made at f/5.6 which is pretty shallow for medium format. I usually shoot at f/7.1 on this lens, but I guess that resulted in too much DOF.

Anyway, this is from a GFX 50SII and 35-70/4-5.6.

Enjoy.

Looks great. Nice idea to lay the bookshelf flat. The light works well with the subtle details of the knick knacks.
Thanks for sharing,

Clever technique. The objects look like they are floating in their nooks. Very eye-catching photo.
