There has to to be a better way of showing a nice stone that on a flat black background.

Good work with the stone, but the chain seems too out of focus at top. Also the chain is lost a bit too much into the black background.

Drop on a tack

I like that the pin is curved. I spent a bit of time trying to figure out if it was really curved, or if it was just an illusion. I came to the conclusion that it is really curved.
Focus is really good in my opinion. I love the detail in the rocks, the drop and the pin.
Lighting is also very good. The only pick I have about the lighting is the white reflection in the water. Other than that, I think you did a great job. Seeing that this is an indoor shot, I think it would be easier to control the lighting so you did not get the white reflections. Maybe something between you and the light source?
I like the way you put the pin right in the center of the photo at a diagonal. Dead center doesn't always work, but I think it does here. It's a nice way to fill the frame with your entire subject. The diagonal is visually appealing and creates nice flow through the photo.
Having the tack 'dissapear' into the water is a nice touch as well.
Overall a very visually appealing photo that is technically very well done. Congrats. ~Heather~

Nice textures -- and I like the mount as well. A nice change from all the cut and polished ...

I like the light-white interplay and the idea, the basic shapes and color tones highlight the face. The light fixture reflected in the mirror is a distraction, imho. 7

Lava rock cutting the sky

Comment by wheeledd:
Lara: Very nice. What I really like is the contrast between the fresh jaggedness of the lava rock and both the softer mountain in the background and the plant-covered rocks in the foreground. The spatial arrangement of the three is very dynamic. --Dan
