I think I wanted those amazing details on the pieces to be highlighted by softer lighting. Nice choice of subject. I also see some traces of the burn tool in the background, not sure.
yup that's some brass. a few too many pinpoints of light are distracting me interesting angle also not sure i like the perspective but well done overall 6
