They need a little, well more light, also crop your images more and use your photoimaging program to lighten them up or put more light on them. When I do scarves I have two big lights behind me. Not spot lights just room lights. If I put one on either side I don't get a shadow. But then I am not an expert as I can take images one day and try again the next and never get the same setting. It's hit or miss with me. Good luck.

Yeah! Now if you can get great photos lowprofile, you ought to be able to do the same. Heard anything from Christies yet?
ps. just a personal thing, but I hate those frames!

Girl Friend , did you forget to take your homes today?? U sure R being pizy!
The frames are appropriate to the art and period. You probably wouldn't pay $500 for them either, but I bet someone is going to pay alot more than that for them. FRANZ LEITGEB is some awesome work!
Now go write some auctions GF and quit stirring up trouble!

pissy? sticks is knocking on the wrong door. come on, admit that you said you'd give Endicia a shot when your free trial runs out with stamps.
I already SAID I love the artist and the artwork! I'm GO LOWPROFILE! you know yourself that a GREAT picture is $$ on ebay compared to a ho hum picture....and I also said it was my personal preference that I didn't like the frames! Didn't mean that everybody would like or dislike them!
I would show two photos, one cropped to exclude the frames and highlight the artwork and I would also give the buyer the option of having them shipped with or without the frames.
Then again, what do I know? I don't have the frames there in front of me. They just look like dimestore frames, they could be great in person. The auction of the other pictures look great and no frames! To me, these frames are just so overwhelming to the pics. Personal taste I guess.

well certainly if it looks like the frames have always been on there, don't touch them! But DO photograph/crop the pictures to show them without the frames!
