Love the modeling effect on all the shots and in particular on the first shot. I would like to have seen a bit more detail in the front of the lens' shots.

Yea i noticed that when i was looking at them on my comp, i was focusing on the glass rather then the rest of the lens.

But they're still very good shots, particularly the first one. You have a lot of potential here. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Thank you kind words are always motivation! Im very happy with my free light box (cardboard box, tissue paper, and a cut up poster)

I attempted some selective focus using a railroad spike...
