Three "steelie" marbles on a spoon, all on a folded table cloth. Lit with natural light from a window.
I tried to capture the sheen and luster of the metals in an interesting photograph. I hope others don't find the folded table cloth distracting because I feel that it adds interest.
I wish I could clone out the reflections of my camera in the marbles, they are quite distracting to me.
Overall, this was a fun B/W study for me. I'm pleased with the result.

Nice textures and contrast between the metal objects and soft fabric. It might have been nice to have a reflection less easily identifiable as the camera, though.
I really like the composition here, especially with the folds in the fabric. The reflection in the metal is a little distracting, but other than that, you're spot on! The lighting really brings out some nice tones in this photo.
