I am trying to get some close up shots of a La Page made by David Pedersoli and decided that I would post them here as an on-going project so that anyone who is interested can comment.
This is the lock cavity in the furniture.

This is the base of the hand grip which is a small chamber containing a spare flint and leather

They are still a little soft for me Ian, I need to sort out a better background I think.

The original needs to be better. This is just "window dressing"

Exactly!
The original does need to be the best you can do, computers can only work with what they are given, just like democracy shite in =s hite out. However using a digital process can help you identify where you can improve and here I would suggest that getting your depth of field right is the first step.
The hammer and the flint are the sharpest in focus but if you look at the lock spring it is out of focus, the computer enhancement shows that clearly, get that right and you can then work on your saturation, lighting and composition.
