 This is my very first submission, and I'm a little nervous, being rather amateur! This is a shot of a portion of my gemstone collection.

I didn't do too much to it...I used a bedside lamp for lighting, and adjusted the saturation and contrast in Photoshop, and cropped the image.

like the focus on the clear/silver crystal. the one to its left reminds me of a stuffed grape leaf, i must say! great colors and nice dof in this shot.

Nice colors, Some of the rocks are a bit out of focus but I like the composition.

Focus.

Nice colors and arrangement, but just too much out of focus foreground, more DOF would help.

Love the colors and the display, could have been better if your focal point was on the fron t stones. Still a nice job though.

5 - Nice colors. Criticism; slightly more 'fore focus' would have made this better in my opinion, and a little sharper on whatever you choose to be in focus too. Seems a blue light reflection on the green/khaki stone, but that may be in it so not sure. The frame is too thick and detracts from this, especially at this size, in my opinion. A different crop too, especially to incorporate or cut out that 'crystal'(?) on the right. edit:typo

I think the border is a little distracting.
