A tiny heart with exceptional detail placed within a miniature jar. All components are worked by hand from glass.
The height is approximately 1 3/4".
On my trip to Ohio, I had the pleasure of visiting a private garden, the owner also the owner of a local nursery. Although some of the garden was still under renovation, I was able to pull a few shots.
This is a Ruby Red Daylily. Shot bouncing light from an XLF-50 into a litedisc.

"Pomegranates are small deciduous, semi-hardy trees or large shrubs. The fruit is globular to oblate up to 4 inches diameter, with the calyx persistent at the terminal, even in the ripe fruits. The outer rind is smooth and rather thin. Within, the fruit is filled with seeds, each imbedded in juicy pulp, and this pulp is commonly the edible portion. Seeds and pulp may be scooped out and pressed for juice, or the pulp and seeds may be separated in the mouth. The rind, boiled, has long been used as a remedy for tapeworm. The plant is highly ornamental, both in flower and fruit, and is found in many southern gardens, and also as a potted plant."

This is my First ever Photographic commission. It was an order from my wife Mags :)
It was her Christmas present done on canvas size 1200mm X 900mm. I have just finished hanging it on our Lounge-room wall and happily she likes it! Phew :)
Dark Ruby Red is her favorite Frangipani colour.
El barrancolí picogrueso o cortacubas de pico ancho (Todus subulatus) es una especie de ave coraciforme de la familia Todidae endémica de la isla de La Española.
Mide de 11 a 12 cm de longitud y pesa en promedio 9,8 g. Es un ave de pequeño tamaño, de pico recto, relativamente corto y ancho. El plumaje de sus partes superiores es verde claro, su garganta roja y el resto de sus partes inferiores es blanquecino con matices grisáceos, amarillos y rosados y con tonos rojizos en los flancos.
Mientras que su pariente el barrancolí picofino prefiere las zonas altas, el barrancolí picogrueso prefiere los hábitats de bosque de montaña muy húmedo a más baja altitud, entre los 435 y 1.700 msnm. Para anidar, excava túneles en los taludes fluviales como un martín pescador.

The Broad-billed Tody (Todus subulatus) is one of the two species of tody native to the island of Hispaniola. It can be identified by its small size, stubby beak, ruby-red throat, and green back.
While its close relative, the Narrow-billed Tody is more prevalent in the higher altitude areas, the Broad-billed Tody prefers lower altitude habitats. To nest, it digs into a river bank, similar to a kingfisher.
The Broad-billed Tody is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

This is an old one taken in Liverpool Chinatown that I thought I'd lost when my old PC packed up a few weeks ago.

The frame is packed edge-to-edge with rounded translucent glass pieces. The dominant forms are large, soft-edged, pebble-like masses rather than sharp shards.
Visible colors include:
* Cobalt blue: large glowing piece near upper right.
* Emerald green: broad piece at lower left-center.
* Ruby red: several pieces at upper left, right-center, and lower right.
* Frosted clear / white glass: central dominant oval.
* Amber / peach glass: upper center.
* Aqua and pale blue: lower center and side areas.
* Yellow-green: upper right edge.
* Violet / deep blue: right side and background pieces.
The central frosted white piece acts as the main visual anchor. It is surrounded by saturated color, so it reads almost like a glowing stone or moon against a field of artificial gems.
The surfaces show small pits, scratches, dust, fibers, and scuffs. These marks are important because they prevent the glass from looking like polished plastic. They give the image tactile age and scale.
Discussion as art
This works as a macro abstract still life. The subject is simple, but the close framing removes ordinary context and turns the glass into a field of color, texture, and light.
The composition is dense and frontal. There is no empty space. That creates a compressed, mosaic-like effect, closer to stained glass or a mineral cross-section than a conventional still life.
The central white glass piece is important. It interrupts the saturated colors and gives the eye a place to rest. Around it, the blue, green, and red pieces form a strong color structure:
* Blue gives cool luminosity and depth.
* Green adds weight and mass at lower left.
* Red adds heat and visual tension.
* White/frosted glass provides tonal balance.
The image is less mysterious than the darker version because the lighting is more even and explanatory. It shows the glass clearly rather than hiding it in shadow. That makes this version more about surface, color, and material evidence, while the darker version would read more dramatically as glowing abstraction.
As an art photograph, it has a synthetic-beauty quality: beach-glass language, but with colors too concentrated to feel fully natural. That tension is useful. It sits between nature, craft material, mineral specimen, and pop-color abstraction.
Focus stacking
Focus stacking is well suited to this subject. At macro distance, a pile of rounded glass has many depth levels: foreground surfaces, central pieces, partially hidden pieces, and rear fragments. A single exposure would not keep this much of the scene sharp.
The stacking appears to provide:
* Broad sharpness across the central white glass.
* Readable texture on the red, green, and blue pieces.
* Clear surface abrasion and pitting.
* Good separation between overlapping glass edges.
* A flattened but highly detailed macro field.
The image has the characteristic look of a successful stack: more depth of field than a single macro frame would normally allow, but still with some natural softness in buried or edge areas.
Possible stacking artifacts to watch for:
* Halos along bright glass edges.
* False sharpness around translucent overlaps.
* Small dust specks becoming overly crisp.
* Local contrast exaggeration on frosted surfaces.
* Slightly artificial transitions where curved glass overlaps another curved piece.
Here, the stack is effective because the main surfaces are sharp without making every background edge equally aggressive. The central white piece, green piece, and large blue piece are the key areas, and they hold focus well.
Technical discussion
The lighting appears to be transmitted or backlit, probably with light coming from below or behind the glass. That is why the pieces glow internally rather than merely reflecting surface light.
The exposure is brighter and more open than a low-key glass study. Highlights are strong but mostly controlled. The central frosted white glass is close to the brightest area, but it still retains texture rather than becoming a blank white shape.
The image benefits from the combination of:
* Frosted texture.
* Transmitted color.
* Close macro framing.
* Deep focus from stacking.
* High local detail.
For a cleaner exhibition version, selective retouching of dust and fibers would help, especially on the red upper-left piece, the central white piece, and the blue upper-right piece. But the dirt and abrasion also support the object’s material identity, so removing all of it would make the picture less physical.
