Crystal Knob
I was going to do a stack of this antique doorknob over a hand held light. But I liked this individual frame because the outer facets were visible but softer

It looked like a pursuit, but in reality, it was a peaceful movement.

Needs Work!
I see these comments on many photos - BTW - those who are putting comments like "Needs Work" should elaborate to say what is needed according to them.

Mia is a natural in front of the camera. She knows where the light is and plays to it in a soft, knowing way.

Beautiful, Steven! I agree with you on this frame.
Thank you!
These are so fascinating to me. Very nice.
Thanks!
We lived in our previous home (built 1935) for a quarter-century was full of crystal knobs. I never once thought of photographing them.
You could have gone either way on focus stacking and you wouldn't be wrong.. same as choosing Color or B&W.
I've tried capturing the light from them a few different ways. They throw off some colorful reflections at the right time of day too. But for this one I was aiming for internal structure
Cool. Now, I'm looking into the reflections trying to see what they are. Blowing it up, looking closely, I think I see a room with a desk and a window.
Yup, big antique desk and many windows! Some of the colors comes from a warm mission style pattern rug too
