Turquoise & Sterling Beaded Necklace

[Seaglass]

Here is a necklace I made...taken with a canon s3is, what do you think of the photo setup.?

Hi Seaglass. Merry Christmas! :)

In all, total honesty, I really don't like the prop you've laid your necklace on; it's too interesting in itself, and draws attention away from your main focal point - the necklace itself! Were it smooth, polished wood, that'd be brilliant, but assuming there isn't any to hand, I think something suitably plain (i.e. paper) would do the trick.

The light seems a little harsh near the necklace... err... clip? I don't know what you call it! While I still don't like the prop, I think this shot has great potential as a black & white image.

Apart from that - it's great. I like the necklace itself, too :)

Thanks Paul and Merry Christmas to you...I appreciate you advice..and I am going to make it black and white and see how it looks...:)
