This is just a quick macro shot that I whipped up at the very last minute using my new camera!

Not bad for 30 minutes of work, I think!

Remember peeps, coral is bright white and translucent. Cranking contrast out of that combo is no easy task! :) Thanks for the comments!

Good texture, a bit more contrast maybe?

I wish this were closer so I could really see the actual texture of the coral. Being this far away, it actually looks like it could soft like the petals on a plant.

quite nice but doesn't hold lasting appeal.

Nice choice for texture. Great lighting and background.

I think this would have been better in color.

very nice for texture. good composition and lighting. A tough thing to photograph.

Find this bland - progression of light and shade in the coral itself is muted, which has the inevitable effect on the perception of texture. Don't find anywhere for my eye to rest in the compositon either - it's alla bit too much the same, without much sense of rhythm in the composition either - the thing doesn't grow in an even regular way, and doesn't leave those regular patterns for the eye to follow.

This is a beautiful shot.

I like the coral texture and lighting seems good. There's something that's not making this photo "pop"....maybe a little soft in the focus?
