You forgot one thing that is extremely hard. Peeing against the wind...or wait..no that aint hard..just stupid, LOL. Another hard thing is looking at your photos without being amazed by your talent. Excellent work once again Joe. #:O)

Joe, You are dead on on the lighting. The mood you have created perfectly fits the subject. I didn't know you collected stones. That is pretty cool Take care buddy

I could not only dream about creating a photo like this but I could only dream about owning a diamond like this - it's beautiful and you've captured is sooooooo well! I know just how hard it is to get anything reflective to show up on camera but you have obviously mastered the art and skill perfectly. Well done Joe and thanks for showing this to me - I now have a goal, something to work towards in the future! The diamond is the gem of gems and you are certainly a true gem yourself! xx
