The Cutting Edge of Gemology

Comment by GolferDDS:
This picture has potential but there are a few things that affect its overall effect. It looks a little slanted to the left. It is too flat ie. no feeling of depth. The picture would have been more interesting if the gem were not directly in the center of the picture. The green backround is OK but where is the yellow in the gem coming from?

Comment by LobsterClaws:
the green was not a good idea, the razor blade isn't level, and the crystal could use some different composition.

Comment by WildflowerJoy:
I don't think the bead is real clear ( yellow middle) and sharp and the blade would be better without the yellow outline around the bottom.

The Thunderchief leads with a nose-length at the moment. :-) Nice composition, the toy car could be sharper. Go on toy car, I hope you will win, LOL! :-)))

Cool ! Great idea. A tighter shot would perhaps emphasized both vehicles.
