Comment by Turbotech:
Real Ornament, Fake Tree. Nice Ornament. Camera Flash is a bit too harsh. Do some research on how to use a Diffuser to soften the light
Ex. Wax paper over the flash. Or Put a thin skin sock or womens hose over the flash to soften the light.

if you'd isolated the badge (ie: no texture on the background) and straightened a little, it's a perfect time mazagine cover.

Comment by inspzil:
This is a pretty good idea. I wasn't sold on it by the thumbnail, but here it looks ok. I'm not overly wild about it either. The light seems a little harsh at the top and a little lacking on the rest of the pic. Aside from that, I think it looks pretty well focused and framed. It might be going a bit uphill from L to R but I don't think its that significant. - Inspzil

Hmmm...so how much WILL it cost to make up all those new badges (and letterhead and business cards and phone numbers.....)?

Comment by nards656:
There's a little bit of glare that I would have tried to eliminate. I like the badge, but some perspective of it being worn, or showing it with a silhouette of its wearer, or something to give some depth. The shot is really flat, especially for a macro. 7 nards656

This does look like something that would be in a newspaper -- great idea! The lighting on the top is a bit harsh -- the eagle is somewhat washed out. More even lighting would make this a much better-looking setup shot. muckpond
