Photo #27 out of 34 on this theme. The background is corrugated paper. The light is my ever-useful 60-watt clip lamp, which can be seen reflected in the garnet bead. I kept the green channel, removed the color, equalized, and applied unsharp mask before and after resizing.

I voted this a 9. I wish it had placed higher. I really loved the textures and the fact that it shows only "parts" of the objects. I just loved the contrast and the detail of this....sorry it didn't do better.

Nice I like the lighting :)

Excellent contrast and sharpness here - highlights are bright white, but detail is preserved, and the blacks are nice and dense. Good choise of bg, too. The diagonals add interest to the layout. It does go ever so slightly soft at the bottom (don't mind it at top).

I really like the use of different textures, lighting and shadows - I prefer to see the whole image of things in a photo, but good job.

very strong contrasts and detail

Nice macro, great detail, love your background, but a bit busy for the "coin" in the lower left corner, or maybe too similar color value. The edges of the "coin" are clearly distinct, but because the color values are so similar, it wants to blend in slightly. All the other elements work well. Nice job!

Seems to be a little over sharpened and contrasty. Good control of focus and exposure though.

Neat background

the contrast and texture on this pic is unreal. the arrangement is very pleasing as well. the top left bead is a bit blown and unsharp so I give this an 8 : )

nice shadows and textures
06/04/2002 11:20:00 PM
I think this subject would look excellent on a solid white surface.. the diagonals are nice, but the texture of the background surface make this photo seem a little 'busy' to me...
06/04/2002 11:11:00 PM
Nice focus. Good photo.
06/04/2002 07:47:00 PM
Nice composition and details.

Nice texture in this shot
06/04/2002 02:18:00 AM
I wish I coul see them that clearly when trying to put some together...
06/03/2002 07:39:00 PM
I like the different textures and shapes
06/03/2002 05:06:00 PM
Neat b&w.
06/03/2002 02:00:00 PM
huh?

I think I'd have played with the levels of this shot, as the whole image seems to sit right around the mid-tone level. I think pushing the dark and light tones further towards their respective poles would have made the objects stand out even further from the great texture you have.

That's a pretty extensive earring. The composure is nice, and the background is awesome -- sadly it's a rather bland subject.

This one seems a bit too sharp for me. The edges are a bit too drastic. I like the overall arrangement, but the contrast does not make it feel very warm to me.
