-a fun pic-

... of a fun piece. Designs like that that radiate outward symmetrically can be seen as suns to some, snowflakes to others, or a myriad of other things that non-symmetrical designs don't offer, and it's always a treat to see your shots of your pieces as they improve. Looks like things are going very well with the new camera.

The camera is only part of the equation, i have the light element & the focus element getting a little more polished, the colors in this shot seem clean & the focus brings out some of the 'good' of the cuttings of the stones-my push for symmetry is always shown in my designs-stevie-

[PinkDiamond]

Yes, wrong choice of words since all your pieces are symmetrical. Duh! What I should have said is orbs, rings or circles that radiate outward lend themselves to such visualizations in pieces as I mentioned, vs shapes. Other shapes give other ideas as to what a piece can represent but not so much to visualizing them as suns and snowflakes.
