Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - good Technical Aspects - good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality - good, but it takes a while to see what the subject is
I like the tight cropping and the sheen to the stone which has come through in the photo. Though I like the way the pattern breaks and we see some straight lines at the right, I think you could lose a tiny bit from the right to improve the composition.
Like it alot. Looks 'almost' Black & White, the very subtle highlights of colour work well for me. Great framing, lighting etc. Would have been even better had the fossil been slightly more intact on the right side, but to move the whole subject to compensate for this would have thrown out the whole composition. Well done - lamedos
cool idea, but i think you have to work a little more with your lighting. the top is too dark and overall, there's too much contrast (light vs dark) in my opinion. i bet the gold doesn't help though, tough to photograph. -- gr8photos (4)
I repeatedly throughout the week kept asking myself, "What is old AND shows its age AND yet is graceful to view. I came up blank. You didn't. Congrats. Maybe a few more moments considering composition & lighting would have pushed this one to the top.
