 Hong Kong silk and Topaz gem from Brazil. Shimmery refraction off the silk is further refracted as it passes through the topaz gemstone. (I was pleased to discover the light coming off silk is bent (refreacted) rather than reflected... hence, the shimmery luster.

excellent crispness makes for an exquisite shot...the title is too long. Love the lighting and colour

Great textures here - nice colors as well. Something is a wee bit off balance to me - maybe if the topaz were lower in the frame to balance the dark section to the right.
