These black stones are so smooth your fingers glide right over them. I think they are basalt, which is a very fine-grained igneous rock. Apparently it forms much of the ocean floor, and is also common on the moon.

  2. The green is hard to capture, isn't it? I used the luminance technique I described in the post about trying to tone down red. http://quercusdesign.blogspot.com/2011/04/trouble-with-red.html
    Do you shoot in RAW or jpeg?
