Good choice of subject matter. This is just me, but I'd like to see a little more depth of field.

Great idea! I seems a bit hot lit on the right but do enjoy the textures. Could be put to good use in a ,who done it, challenge.

Wonderful details and the DOF if an added bonus. The colors are subtle and strong at the same time.

I really like this 1!! Very cool shot, to be honest I slightly disagree with muz's comment, I think that the reflected glare and the slightly tilted surface adds alot of dynamic to the shot. The tilt helps to bring a lead in from focused area that gently leads your eyes to the blurred end of the pic, its a nice and gentle transition and the glare helps to that effect from a dark area to lighter =)

Originally posted by agrimace: Interesting - would not have known what it was if you hadn't told me. What Apeture did you use?

I shot this with a manual 50mm and about 2 1/4" extension tube with the aperture set at 5.6. The shutter was at 1/125 and I used a 16" soft box - can't tell what it was set at.

DOF was pretty shallow, but I liked the result anyway.
