Comment by Kavey:
I like the content. I wonder if you've adjusted contrast during post processing? It seems too high to me - the whites are blown out too far.

Comment by matts:
Generally a nice image - with only one idea for possible improvement: use a brighter, diffused light to capture the amber-colored beads.

Comment by paynekj:
I think you would have been better with a different background- something a bit lighter than black. Otherwise a well done picture.

Comment by CLarson557:
More even lighting would make this a better shot. It looks as if you only have one light source...a bright light to the right. You seemed to blow out the white beads and then can't really see the other beads.

I've seen a lot of date stamps but never really ever consider them artsy.

Comment by wewillexplore:
Little too bright - some highlights got blown out and there is a loss of detail because of your contrast.

Comment by juliaperson:
i love it. I think it will place high in this challenge for a few reasons. Primarily that it is just a very well composed shot. I like the focussing, and how the edges start to blur away, but some parts are still very sharp.
I also think it will place because it seems to be more creative and interesting in concept as well as in execution than many of the of shots in this challenge

I like this one alot. It was my favorite. Man that's some super macro action you going on there. Superb DOF. The B & W only adds to it. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this was probably shot with a Canon EOS-10D. Close? I even think I might know who shot this. Great work.
