Jackie @30pics4jackiesdiamond asked me for a Still-life with Pearls , as inspired by Vikki @summerfield

i may work on this again, this was a bit hurried, in fact this was the first shot, subsequent ones were overthought , and merely trying different f-stops, i need to work on lighting and arranging the objects. I like how Vikki uses a really shallow depth of field and the pearls turn into bokeh.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond well what do you know, i found some pearls ! posting this in case I dont get to it again today to get a better shot.
@summerfield any tips?

@kali66 - what's your problem with this, you got the bokeh effect on the pearl beads. but if i had to shoot it myself, i would've focused on that gorgeous ring on the left and shot it from the left angle.

Looks fairly regal.

Oh this is so good and not at all your usual style, absolutely nailed my challenge.Brilliant

@30pics4jackiesdiamond you are not allowed to say that when i put virtually no thought into it lol

[JackieR]

@kali66 well it doesn't look like that!

It is always hard to achieve the right setup, lighting and focus, nicely done!
