Well, the body is chrome plated, the hooks are stainless steel. Used a black poster board to reflect light back and knock down the shine a little.

A nice study in contrasts between the lure and the rocks; very good composition with the placement of the lure in the shot; clarity is excellent. Nice work, congrats on the high finish!

I like this, particularly the simplicity of the shot. The water drops are a neat touch.

You did well with the texture of the rocks. They provide a nice background as well.

It took me a second to figure out those are stone in the background - at first glance, I thought they were potatoes LOL. I like the lure, but I think the background is to close/infocus so the lure doesn't stand out as well as it could have. I think you could have found a more dynamic angle to shoot from to give it a WOW factor. 5

Love the fish finder. A different background would have been more appealing to me.

Nice lure. Wish you had a real fish attached to it, I think that that would have really made the shot.
