Antonio,

Why does it need to be repeated ever?

Is this your teeth or a teaching setup?

I imagine its the latter because of the copper metal.

Asher

The background is not uniform and I want it with much better light.

Only a dentist would have such a paper weight!

This is great to look at as is. The shape and color is so rich!

Asher

P.S. I'd love to have that to shoot on my black enameled grand piano. The reflected colors would be great!

You might try a larger light source (i.e., bounce flash off the ceiling) to soften the specular highlights which is further from the subject to balance the illumination. Or you might put this on a cardboard box with a hole in it and light it from beneath to get a glowing look. What do you want from the light?

enjoy,

Sean

Antonio,

Yes, the images, on their own a now done right.

I must admit, although it doesn't detract from your final images, that I still love the character of the first picture! It is less clinical. The copper color reminds me of great tea kettles and tall domed Italian classic expresso machines.

However, I have no idea of the purpose of the images and I have no doubt that rendered as is, they will do what you want!

Asher

Now that I looked at the 1.st picture I can say I like it also.
Your association with the expresso machines is fabulous ... :)
(Why can't I have smilies enabled ?)

The images have no purpose whatsoever.
It's only for the fun of it.

Regards.
Thank you for the comment
