Correct quote: "All that glisters is not gold". Spoken by the Prince of Morocco in 'The Merchant of Venice' written by William Shakespeare.

I thought this would be a fun entry. The photo is of pyrite, otherwise known as fool's gold.

Image has been re-sized, cropped, saturation modified, contrast modified, border added to the bottom and top.

Good idea, but not an easy subject to shoot. Kind of confusing to look at and there is something up with the focus I think, but I can't quite figure it out.

great job with the title and the subject it just feels...painful to the eye. 6

So if I glisten closely will it turn to glitter?

The main thing I would want different about this is for it to be sharper. There's a lot of nice texture in the pieces, but I don't feel it comes out enough.

This is a misquote, but I think the photo itself lacks. You've got some really hot spots in your lighting. And while I can appreciate a good out of focus photo, I don't see the purpose in this not being in focus.
