 Close-up of mineral bookend...I actually tried to improve on a shot that I had already done. I used a desk lamp to light from one side and cropped out the white wall in the back. I don't have a macro lens so my options were limited for the ideas I kept coming up with.

NIce color variation, but i think a solid subject would help this image along. I'm not sure what specifically, i should be looking at.

Rock of some sort?

This looks like rusted paint but it could be a rock or type of mineral. The large area on the right that is not in focus is a bit of a distraction, more DOF might be better.
