DariusVE,

Experiment more, simplify background, try lighting from two directions dramatically. Offset subjects as a group and/or individually to avoid the centering.

This one by Saralonde came to mind for 'simplify:'

the dot to the right on the image is that dust or a mark on your lens?

Hi all

Answers for questions and suggestions:

The "set" for this macro shoot was an old wood work table on my studio, my son was playing with the staples an the push pin, when he made the figure or sculpture, then he came to me and said: "daddy look what I made!!!", so a grab camera a take the shoot.

The ligthning it's the on-camera flash.

The dot, it's a reflection of a small grocery cart that I use to move my equipment...

Thanks for the advice and good critics
