Mother of Pearl
Lens: Sigma 28-80mm Camera: K-50 ISO: 800 Shutter Speed: 1/8s Aperture: F8

It's pretty difficult to capture the rainbow of colors that are cast from black-lipped mother of pearl scales on a pocket knife. This was the best I could do before I finally gave up.

Could it be the WB? The exif shows an Olympus K-50.

A very interesting and well executed photograph. I like the use of the knife as it really adds a mysterious type of dimension. Thnx for sharing.

All in all...I think this is an excellent photograph. I can only go by what I see and what I see, I like. The composition, the shadowing...nicely done.

I like those almost-glowing colors in the mother of pearl - looks very good. The lighting is well done, for the knife glow and the shadowed character holding the knife. Excellent. Thanks.
