Elegant and near perfect execution. I love the eclipse analogy in the title and the 'diamond ring' moment is beautifully evoked in this stunning jewel. Respect. TG
magnifique! i still think you're the jeweler par excellence. love the lacy leaves that extend from the jewel. the corona makes it so 3 dimensional. i feel like the jewel might be looking at me. must be that i've been watching "Lost" too much.
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I do not get to your pictures as soon as you post them, I apologize. I try. Also if I do not respond for awhile it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you, it just means I'm really tied up with life. Bene lava!!
Nathan, when you get tired of art, do jewelry for me, OK? lol
the colors here are stunning. they definitely grab the viewers eye. The gold filigree is quite attractive. I can see a faint reflection of a tree in the orb. There is a bright spot at the top that tends to draw the viewers eye away from the reflections in the center and is a bit distracting. Other than that, I find it another 'gem' from your computer to mine! Many thanks for sharing this with me ;=)
