the above doesn't look like me - my hair is longer and grayer, I wear glasses and I've got a few more laugh and life lines in my face, but thirty+ years ago, it would've been right on target!
I was introduced to Bryce back in 2001/2002 and immediately fell in love! I've always been creative but never thought I could make anything 'artistic' since I can barely draw stick figures. Bryce changed all my negative thinking. Not saying my art is good or bad, but I think it's as least better than my stick figures!
Having Multiple Sclerosis means I have good days and bad days. Bad days I have trouble typing so comments will be short and (hopefully) sweet; good days I'll wax more poetic LOL. If you send me a site mail, it isn't personal if I don't get back to you right away because my memory sucks. (which is why I'm having to relearn Bryce all over again! AND make myself frequent notes!)
At times I will mention naming a piece after the song playing on one of my favorite internet radio station. One station is NativeRadio.com where they feature a wide and eclectic mix of world music, predominatly by Native American, First Peoples and other indigeneous artists. The other is the oldies stations where I relive my ill-spent youth! I'm a baby-boomer which is as close as I'll get to revealing my age here!
I live in Alabama with my husband and our 'blended family' of four dogs - our house is maintained for the care and comfort of the dogs; we are ever at their 'bark and call' so to speak! My other hobbies/passions are creating original beaded jewelry and designing my own webpages.
September 26, 2012 - You may see a proliferation of images from me for awhile.  After FOUR YEARS of unavoidable Bryce abstinence due to computer crashes, I may go a bit nuts making up for lost time!
Sept 4, 2012 - Success!! Changed user name from cherokeeheart to moonhawk!! Â Yipee!

PS - By oral family history, I am part Cherokee but I can't prove it, not well enough for tribal membership anyway. Â Also according to oral family history, I am also part Irish, English, German and maybe Norweigan, but I can't prove those bloodlines either!

I see where you were going. I like the rays from the internal light source, those are nice. The rest of the lighting seems to fall a bit flat. You might try lighting it from above with a spotlight on each side coming down and across the image. That way instead of a shadow straight down you would have more vibrant shadows coming at 45 degrees of each bottom edge. It might also highlight the 3d-ness of the displayed art piece. I think you have the camera in the right place, try changing the lights first and I think you will be happier with what you have. See if you can get the lighting to do something against the protection chain, it seems quite flat and one dimensional. If you can get it so that the top lights cast a gleam on the inside edge of each pole it might help it to pop. Oh and add an "art card" - museums always have those little index cards on the wall besides art pieces to tell you about the creator and stuff like that. A detail like that might help get your idea across. Obviously it will be too small to read, but that's ok. Hope that helps! :-)
