Hello from the critique club

An interesting image that meets the challenge

The idea behind the image is good and your composition is also quite good but there are a few technical issues that could have given you a better result. The most obvious problem is depth of field, there isn’t enough of it. You are nearly wide open so therefore you are using a very shallow DOF, as you know the closer you are the shallower the DOF so the end result is no detail at all in your watch strap which by the sound of it you would like to show off such a valuable item! Having said that there is some nice bokeh on it but I still think more detail is needed. The silver of the coin is not coming through, the lighting is bringing out the detail nicely enough but there is a yellowy colour cast on it. In view of the challenge brief it is imperative that you try to represent the silver as a true silver. The bronze sort of works but not very convincingly, again more DOF is needed.

All in all Kelli, a good attempt that needs a little more refinement, keep at it you’re doing well.

Wow, that's in tight. Nice job getting both the macro and abstract portions nailed down.

I don't know what it is, but nice! Technically sound and nice way of being abstract.

Good detail. Not sure what it is, only that those are fibers from something. Good macro
