 two lights were used (first attempt at studio lighting)

This is a necklace on top of a tin containter. I was trying out my new camera keeping this challenge in mind and got this photo. Might not fair well but I was so excited about the control of focus that I decided to give it a shot in the voting.

Neatimage, crop, levels, curves, high pass, cloned out a couple rust specks.

There is a macro attachment on top of the current listed lense but it doesn't even have a brand name so I couldn't find it anywhere.

Critique Club Review:

Interesting play on color. Color, saturation and hue are good. Brightness and contrast are good as well.

Focus is good, but depth of field is a bit too shallow. I see you were already at f-11. I don't know what your lens was capable of. You may have needed to shift the center of focus a little further back.

The charm is well lit, but at the same time, it the lighting appears to have been pretty equal, and comes across as a bit flat.

One question that comes to mind, is whether or not the charm is supposed to be polished silver, or antiqued? In the photo, at this close range, it comes across tarnished and dirty.

i like the subject and the way you've captured it, but the background seems distracting.
