Seems obvious that this is a crystal ball we're looking into, no?

Yes it is nice. I like the lighting on the hands. Only one thing I have a comment about is... I think it is too far over to the left.  To me this kind of image should be centereed to have the dark background on both sides.
JMHO.

WOW! it is nice as Doug mentioned.. and i agree with him.. about it is a too way off the side "left"

Centering the main object as also Doug mentioned is the best solution for this type of shots. The main subjects will be the hand and the crystal ball. And i'de rather no backgrounds. As the face of the model or such.. it is about 10% blurry tho.. But that won't matter cause it can be turned into a dreamy one.. That will make it even better.  LOL basicly i repeated everything Doug mentioned..

Over all it is nice and worth of another try. Thanks and best regards

Thank you for the comments, I will try again. Geert, I was taking this pic having "holding" on my mind. Warmly, tofi

hi,

I agree with nattarious y dBgrafix. I studied during 2 years “comportemant of publicity” and your photo is incredible!!! I think tothe words crystal or diamond are very good assets to speak about the color of the nails. Especially to have nails as beautiful as crystal. It's a privilege for certain woman and to have always the nails very beautiful. When I look at this photograph, it is also a continuation of words: stone invaluable, diamand, smooth… my list is large..

Excellent photo and I like very much these pretty hands.

Hugs

I like more the first picture, my choice, this 2nd, is very good too. I like the first because I see more elegance and sensuality...

Good day and hugsssss

Nice try again.. please find a quick edit which might give you some more ideas.. Hope you like it and i was wondering what camera you used for thise awesome shot! and the reason i asked.. It is (GRAINY) tho and i wonder why.. Is it less light or ISO settings..

Thanks and many regards

JOE

hey Joe,

it's very interesting work in this one with a lot interpretation as the b&w for the past time of a woman, and the color for the presente and futur.. I like very much ;)

I hope you a very good day and a very good music ;)

kiss

I still like the first image best because of the hands, but agree that it was too far left. As far as it having to be centered, I disagree. It can be off to one side a bit, but the first one did need more "breathing room" around the crystal. Neat postwork on that 3rd one though. :)

Hey Joe, Thank you for the modifications , I like it... I used my old and discontinued camara : KODAK DCS PRO SLR/n. Just 14 Mega Pixels, maybe thats why... Now Im using: Canon PowerShot Pro1... and i like it very much.(more friendly to my inexperienced hands :) ) Greetings. Tofi.
