Want critique Rough & Polish

[Greg Shchepanek]

Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz ... Ancient Greeks wore amethyst & carved drinking vessels from it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication. Amethyst is a semiprecious stone that is often used in jewelry and is the traditional birthstone for February. Here I have combined a raw rock sample & a fine polished jewelry piece using super macro feature on the M100 Canon & lighting from a mini torch :

Canon EOS M100 • EF-M28mm f/3.5 MACRO IS STM • ƒ/4.0 28.0 mm 1/60 100 Flash (off, did not fire)

Such lovely color. I have always loved Amethyst in jewelry. Nice photo and representation of something from the Earths' core!

Excellent photo! Love the colors, and the lighting is very dramatic. Lovely

Thank you very much pulling out my rock collection

I love the tiny shapes and edges because of the narrow DOF as well as the soft light.
