The few times I have tried some tabletop photograghy I have been pretty pleased with my results. I thought I would give it another go.
Things didnt turn out as expected. The main thing being colour. I never shoot in B&W but as the window I shoot in front of backs onto our garden, a mass of greenery at the moment, my subjects were looking VERY green/yellow.
So I switched to mono.Shame as I love colour. That aside I think I used to many differing textures.
I just don't do mono so I can't help but want to see the colours.

Posting for feedback on any aspect. Subject, colour, post, composition, anything at all, is more than welcomed.

I lifted the blacks on the second as I was thinking the original looked a bit harsh but again maybe niether work.

Thanks
Gaz

Why not shoot in colour, and correct the WB for the green tint? Either choose one of your stones which is a neutral white or gray as the reference, or shoot a white or grey reference card to set the camera's white balance before shooting.
 
Of these 2 I prefer the 1st, I think the 2nd shot has too much lighter shades in it and the 1st one shows more definition, well to me.

Hi Chris. I did shoot in raw so do have that option open to me. It was such an over whelming colour cast that I thought it was to much hard work to get it looking right. Really grateful for the reply thanks.

Thanks Graham. You are quite correct there is much more definition in the first image. Good to know what fresh eyes see.

I am just wondering if there could be some separation between the two sets of stones? I would just like to see the curve of the bowl complete.
