Pot of Gold

This is one of those pictures that didn't turn out at all like I had it set up. It's a clear glass with water in it, and I had clear crystals in it against a black background. Originally I had a crystal fish with blue fins in the glass, and the pictures looked really cool on the camera, but once I loaded them on the computer they looked horrible. I had taken some without the blue finned fish, and the crystals turned gold, so there you go. Strange photo day.

Looks very pretty. You got a nice effect anyway.

Sometimes when they don't turn out the way you expect it's just a nice surprise . . . like here!

[Kathryn Marshall]

I like how it turned out!

[Vickie Posey]

Well, I like your pot of gold and the reflection on it :-)

[Nathalie]

I like the golden glow on the crystals. I know that kind of strange photo days, when something that looked totally cool on the camera screen looks like, well, cr*p on the computer screen :-p
Nice effect here, really does look like a pot 'o gold :-)

The sparkle of the bowl and gems against a black backdrop brings great contrast and is so fun to look at. It is 8pm, just put the kids to bed and now I need to find something to take a pic of..(and I know I shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition......)On my way....lets see what I find...

This is a great photo and you should be proud of it! As I already said replying back to your comment on my photo, it truly meant so much, thank you for your words! Have a great rest of the night!

i like this though...i often try to plan shots and never get what i envision...usually i give up..what we won't do for a good shot, huh?

[Anastasia]

Cool effect and it turned out very pretty!

[Peggy Sirk]

Very Midas like...cool shot, Sheri. Love how you're experimenting with so many different aspects and elements of photography.

[FaerieMoon]

Even so, it turned out cool. I love the glow coming from it (:

[Kerry Bergman]

Love the light Sheri! This is great

[Sarah-Jane]

I think this is just stunning Sheri, how did you manage to get the black background, I love your caption and I guess a pot of gold was exactly what you needed on this day so that's why it worked :)
