I'm actually really satisfied with my picture this time. These cuff links were my great-grandfather's, the pearls and the book were his mother's. I took this picture mid-afternoon in natural lighting, no flash. I used the macro setting in manual mode on my camera. Then I went to work in Picasa. I adjusted the color, and the exposure, then used the "warmify" option to make it look a little more vintage-y. I like it.

I agree with the girls, this picture is beautiful and how wonderful that you have cherished mementos from your ancestors. Great job.
Great coloring and I love all the meaning it must hold for you.
Good job, I like how the cuff links are in focus, with the book and parts of the pearls a little out of focus. Like the setup and I think it's so great that you have these things that have been passed down in your family. So special.

GREAT job! I love the luster of the pearls, the sharpness of the metal, the softness of the book color... great job with the editing too! Nice!
