Smile Illuminated Objects

Hi all!

Just finished building my first light box.
Two 500w, Ultra white halogen floodlights diffused.

Not sure if I need more lights or not, what do you think?
I can still see a few dark spots, perhaps one above the object, as well as the two on the sides.

Any comments / critique welcomed.

Edit~ Can you say "dirty eyepieces"? Sheesh!! Off to clean them now...

I like the subtle pastel colours & composition in #2. Really nice colours in #4. I also like the last shot, has real character. Good stuff!

for a nice but cheap macro you cant go past tammys 90/2.8 and 60/2.0 IF. I have seen great results particularly from the latter.
