My Tarnished Silver Pin

Shannon,
As the rest have mentioned quite accurately , the lighting can be improved further. You top lighted the image and caused
very harsh shadows. Try to diffuse your lighting. If you used flash , use a diffuser (if you don't have one just cover the flash head with
tissue paper - use 1pc. to start with).

By the way I did PM you hope it helps.

Perfect for this challenge , excellent lighting - I want to give you a 10 but the support that you used spoils this otherwise beautiful shot - 9

Like the warm tones , prefer a tighter crop to emphasize on the pine cone textures more also the shadows could also be a little less harsh - 6
