Few photo subjects appear more 3-D to me than spherical objects modeled in single-source light.
Here’s a boulder that rolled into my shot high-up in the Bitterroot Mountains of Northern Idaho. It stopped between some giant cedars in a photogenic way. Must have seen me with a camera. ;)
The sunlight was harsh – and cloudless skies meant no softening until well after my departure. So the highlights are a bit blown. (At least I wasn’t using Velvia-50!)
Nonetheless, I think the modeling makes the boulder look poised to roll out of the photo…
Perhaps you have a round subject with more-even modeling?
