Objects De` Art?

Not sure if I got the title right. Took these pictures at work. First one is a group of colorful Resin Beads (.75" Dia.) and the second one is a bunch of carved bone beads (skull bead is 1.25" long). Just something a little more abstract

Very nice photographs. You didn't make mistake buying this camera.

<< Just something a little more abstract >>

... and why not, indeed - am surprised there's not more 'non-organic' subject matter being submitted as there's some interesting choices available.

Nice pics - I prefer the lower one as got more 'texture' (for my tastes, anyway) - and if taking the upper one, I'd have been tempted to lose the white background altogether - but again, all subjective.

<< abstract >>
With the label - possibly 'made in Indonesia' ? - you're also starting to sniff around the edges of a social / ethical dimension - dunno if this was intended?

Looking at the translucent nature of the beads, makes me wonder what effect side lighting would have with the thro holes?

Tacky Doug, tacky...you left the price tag on the beads too. You know I have to agree with pp, there are a lot more things that would make good macro subjects. Bugs are nice, bugs are interesting but images like this are a refreshment to the eyes. Very nice work Doug, thanks.

Thanks everyone....C&C are always welcome . I remember when I first started looking at this forum, I went from the first page to the last page looking at all the pictures and I remember one post, it was a macro shot of a rusty old ballbearing ( I would like to find it again ) it was so interesting with all the textures of the rust & metal..Riks` picture of his bad setscrew was very interesting also.

You are right PP, a black background would have been cool
