I love the little guy in the background

great DOF though.

that darn sticker throws it all off for me. too bad you couldn't have taken it off.

it is amazing how the top part of the photo looks like a painting.

neat! do you have a high resolution we can see?

awesome DOF, awesome shine and great cropping.

I wouldn't say it is "grainy." I think it is just blurry because it was a night photo. Did you use a tripod? I've learned that a tripod is much needed for pictures at night. When it is dark, the camera needs to take in more light. It needs more time to take the picture so to speak, so it will also record more of your movement...which in turn makes for a blurry photo. I hope I explained that right.

it is hard to tell where the focus is in this picture so the whole photo almost seems out of focus.

very neat texture here.

neat and on theme but maybe cropping it off the right some would look cool

this is neat looking the way it is.

I would have taken the food out of it first before shooting.

I would have picked a better part of the gameboard to put them on--or even a different surface--maybe a black surface.

I think I agree with the author also. Right on theme and great shiny shot!

maybe a crop of the top so the focus would be more on just one or a few -- agrees with friiskiwi

thankfully I can only guess what these are used for...but I really like this shot. I'm pretty sure I know who this is too

I see the shine in this picture, it is right down the middle of the piece. I would have cropped this a bit though...maybe take some off the left hand side.

nice, but could have been rotated a bit.

ugly ring but nice shot

I'm thinking this would have been a great shot without the guy behind the shiny statue. I'm sure it was probably hard to get a shot without people behind it though. The red carpet behind it would have made it look really cool--taking the shot from a different angle.

this would be really neat if the background was a bright white instead of grayish.

I like this shot, but it would be even better if the fabric that the brooch sits on didn't have the shadows in it from the curve. still cute

I love the clarity and how you got two types of shine.

nice shot! hey, how about you come shine my motorcycle like that

very pretty. I would have tried to get a sparkle in the diamond.

not shiny jeaniblog? huh. I see shine in this- look how it is reflecting the light in many spots.

lovely picture! Completely on theme.

this is actually a clever shot. Did you mean for it to look like the batman logo? I would have cropped it a bit more so it was a bit more "in your face."

I thought is was made out of wood at first

very nice professional looking shot, very clear.

I would absolutely love this if the whole thing was in the picture. Just my opinion though.

I'm wondering if you would have kept the color in this photo, if it would have shown the shine a bit better?

this is an awesome shot, very beautiful. the only thing that could have made it better is if you saw a sparkle in the diamond--but still a great shot!

Jawshoewhah is right. A lot of times, it is better NOT to use the flash on the cameras. Try using natural light

I think this is a great idea, I think it is completely on theme because it IS a boat/ship...maybe not real but still a boat. I actually like the Depth of Field on this because it zeros in on that particular boat--not Out Of Focus. Creative, good job!

this is funny! Great shot

I'm surprised this didn't get higher

I would call it art because it was made and painted. It looks as if it was ceramic or oven-baked clay--homemade

wonderful shot!!

absolutely adorable!

partying drunk people can be chaos to some people. I used to bartend and after many years, the whole bar scene was chaos to me--again...in the eyes of the viewer

who in the heck is going around giving thumbs down for comments like adeincyprus' "good luck author" ????

but you can't see that he is confused or indecisive

yes, I would keep it up if I were you

a state of utter confusion b : a confused mass or mixture

I could see this as chaos- a state of utter confusion b : a confused mass or mixture

it is chaos to me

I totally agree with adeincyprus here

my husband is a lineman---this pole is not really cluttered.

the items are all lined up in rows so it really doesn't look chaotic to me, especially since the table is all done up nicely and such. I've been to many antique shops and this one is set up fairly nice BUT if you are not one to frequent these places, it may seem chaotic to you. after thinking about it for a while, the meaning of the word chaos is really all in the eyes of the beholder (or viewer)
