Yes, my piece. I could tell you when, where, and how i got it, but then I might be admitting to something that maybe shouldn't be done if indeed i did it. Suffice it to say that it was obtained long, long ago when I was young and foolish - about 150 feet or so below sea level.

Keith, I was really curious whether this was your piece of coral or whether it was displayed in some other place. Your set-up sounds a lot like mine...I usually use a kitchen counter or desktop with a desk lamp and some poster board. You show with this image that good results can be had with some simple props. Nice job, Keith. MFC

mike, you'll laugh when I tell you - in my family room on the coffee table atop a black placemat with overhead lighting - but i did use a tripod! Thanks - your comments are always welcome and helpful to this occasional amateur...Regards...Keith

Keith, I really like the color and clear textural detail here. Nice subject that contrasts well with the background. The exposure is right on. Really a nice shot. Where did you photograph this?(*)I like it "as is". MFC
