Thank you, Cathy!
but when i place my pictures in this gallery i really hope to get some critics/advices/suggestions.....
but.............i haven't got any yet.......
Tracypieface, thank you for opinion!
i'm going back and forth in my decision regarding the background.
and i have a couple reasons for still using black.
the only place in our shop to take pictures is right near a big window with very bright direct sunlight. so every time i used another color for background on every picture it was different (where i'm looking to use the same color for all pictures)......so..........i don't see other solution................at least black is always black (though with some variations)......
besides (and that's really very-very-very important for me!!!!!!!!!!!)..........black background shows all (even tiny little) mistakes in design (especially when it comes to lines and visual balance)..............
so.............what do you think??????????
i haven't tried dark grey yet.........we'll see.................
I don't really know about black being the best showcase for flaws - I'm still learning photographically all the time. The black is very very artisitc, very chic. It looks incredibly upscale, like gallery photos - maybe a little improvement on the lighting would help ... search out info here on "photography" - there are some helpful posts about taking good pics.
