 Uh, I don't know what to write to this one. It's fairly simple, it's a replica of a snapshot that I took at another shoot with my friend - same furniture, same jewelry :) I liked the outcome a lot, so when the Still Life IV challenge came up I knew I wanted to recreate that.

Photoshop work:
cropped it to a square
bumped brightness & contrast a little (each by +5)
unsharp mask (amount 50, radius 1, threshold 0)
then resize and save :)

Nice shot. I like that you mixed old and new stuff - it forces me to look a little more carefully at the image. And your lighting is impeccable.

A little more DOF would have been nice

A bit cluttered, maybe removing the bow and the object below the drawer would help. The lighting on the beads is a bit harsh. Assuming the beads were the subject here, I would have liked to see them in sharper focus. I do like the perspective you shot this at.
