I just got this today and I couldn't wait to try it out so I took one of my wife's laser etched crystal trinkets with a ballerina shoe in it and I took a couple of shots. The crystal is about 2" square. No post processing other than a quick crop and not a lot of time spent composing but C&C always welcome.

    Great shot, I especially like the way the light hits the shoe and ribbons..made me think it was an underwater shot of air bubbles at first :D

    I really like the shot, if you didnt tell us it was from a laser etching, I would have been stumped for a while on it, Definately a lens I want

    Thank you all for your kind words.

    Thanks Skippy!!....Definitely take a shot of your crystal and post!!! I had to find something to test it with and I remembered that I had bough this for my wife a few years ago. I put it in my studio w/black background and ran a few shots. I'm going to my local nursery today to test it out some more and will post some from that.

    Very cool. You may have started a trend--I have a crystal etched image trinket as well, maybe I'll try too !

    That's great. I'd love to see more of these types of shots because I think they are very intersting.
