These are some blue glass pebbles we have loads of in a vase. I used a curved frosted light shade to give a nice background.
I'll be honest, this was not what I aiming to produce. The original shot was much, much wider, but as I cropped, and cropped I really liked this smaller section. The glass pebbles aren't even this colour. My camera has quite abit of noise, so I've used NeatImage to.
PP in CS:
Heavy cropping
Adjustment layer to whole image for curves to boost contrast
Adjustment layer to whole image for Hue/Sat to boost colour and change colour of the pebble from blue to a deep punchy red
run through NeatImage to clean up the background.
Save for web, cross fingers and pray.

This is not a bad picture, and there’s not realy much I could say to improve this. However, as commented I too would like to see all 3 “marbles” in the picture, and make it more visual interesting, just to get that WOW effect.
I like the reflections in the glass, I see 1 with a face, 1 with a head and 1 with an eye. Bit creepy too :b
Hope this helps you in any way.
this looks grea technically. focus and all is good. just a tad boring. I generally love simplistic photo and suffer from the bore factor too. nice reflections though.
