[wishvam]

this is my first post in macro critique section ..and this pic is not macro enough
may be 1:1 fairly close up.. i made my black t-shirt as background...

CAMERA DETAILS:
HTC PROPHET(DOPOD 818 PRO), 2MP CAMERA, COOL CAMERA APPLICATION

LIGHTING:
JUST FLUORESCENT BULB...AND SAME WHITE BALANCE WITH MORE CONTRAST.

Ps work is just level correction and adding my signature...

All critiques are welcomed.. particularly on color.. have i contrasted more or is the lighting is poor etc... honest comments improve me a lot...!

Very interesting.
What were you trying to convey? What is that? I can't express any opinion in this forum.

[wishvam]

nothing to convey its just a gift thing.. some color stones weaved with wire.. just a showcase material...

i recently read how to snap smoke in which he used a black t-shirt as a ground to capture the smoke.. so i wanted to test it and the pic was the result.. and why can't you express any opinion in this forum..?

i think the image its a bit over processed
maybe the contrast, or levels
because there's a lack of detail on the stones
and the colors are maybe a bit too.. intense maybe?
maybe that's what you wanted to get
but that's just my opinion

anyway, i like the idea
