First, thanks for all the complements on my lidded candy dish yesterday. This is a shallow bowl made from Angelim (Angel Heart). It is 8" wide and 1 1/2" tall. It is finished with friction polish. The rim is undercut, and it has a small foot. I am not a photographer and this photo tent doesn't seem to be helping.

That's a nice looking piece Ray.

I think you need more light hitting the sides of your tent to get better pictures. It looks like all your lighting is from the front. You want to light all sides of the piece for best presentation and then have one side a little brighter than the others to give some contrast. At least, that's my understanding of the light tent theory.
