Bobby1 posted a photo of a beautiful slab of Chinese Writing Ston, so I thought I would share my one and only cab of this material. As always, if you see something I can do better, please let me know. Rich

I like the cab. About doing better, I think the background rock is too similar to the pattern of the cab. The cab blends in the background instead of popping in front of it. It kinda looks like a "cameleon cab" Adrian

if you r experimenting with stars/diamonds shapes your hypothesis is verifying out fine Rich ! or perhaps I should call it a kite shape? anyway that a real interesting stone you have and what's the red mark in the upper right? looks like big foot in stone

I agree with Adrian. The background is too busy. Same as the OP cabs Rich. Great cabs and keep em coming.

Thanks for the comments & the advice. The background is a geode half. I see what you mean about competing w/ the stone. I have lots of pics using this background, I like it bacause it's close to neutral gray & helps w/ the exposure, but it's not good if it detracts from the stones. I'll have to find some other way to hold the cabs & re-take them.

Cool Rich - nice cab. Diff background would help make it pop in the picture but it looks great. We found some rough in ID and OR on fishing trips that i think is the same....I need to dig it out, slab and cab. Thanks for the motivation. Cheers.

SWEET! Now, maybe a better background would show this beautiful cab off a little more. They look too much like they belong together
