An experiment with a totally senseless type of art, for me. I don't even really recall the editing, but there is a gradient and several duplicate layers in various blend modes. Sharpening done with High Pass Sharpening filter in PS Elements 2. Shot in RAW, with a flash bounced off the ceiling.

The bokeh here is pretty good, though I think the shot might pop a bit more with some more light. That might also help to give the look of a really crisp focus on the beads.

a good ida but i feel that the lighting could have been better and there are alot of marks that could have been cleaned up. good work though.

Bokeh really adds to this shot. Love the title; makes the viewer really think about the image. Good luck in the challenge. :)

Cool title. IF I were to vote on this, I would give it a 6 or so, just because it is different . .

That said, you so should have entered the other one. :)

For a closeup like this, the crystals should be 'crystal clear'.

The lighting does not show off the crystals to best advantage. It's too flat.

I took this exact shot a few days ago! I showed a little of the lampshade as well. How funny is that!
