I've enjoyed this whole series, Lori, but this one is my favorite! Really effective style. It's funny how sometimes less detailed looks even more convincingly dimensional than a photorealistic approach. I like the partial out of focus, too. Many would be tempted to use the dodge tool to make the lights pop...but I admire your restraint.
This is so cool! at first i was like "what is it?" then i read the distance thing, and then steped a bit away from my computer, and omg i thought it was real diamonds XD it looks so much like a picture! i am totally gunna show my bro >w> nice optical illusions dude!
