What? You don't enjoy walking through a car park? :-)
A side comment on the blue beaded necklace you posted to your website.
Bonn is a jeweler and I've spent considerable time and effort over the years trying to get good pictures of her jewelry for slides to send in to show juries. (If your slides are no good, you don't get into the shows. It's as simple as that)
I'd recommend a few different things for any future shots of jewelry:
* Your background should be neutral and all but texture-less. Anything else compeats with the eye for attention. The best background is a gray-scale that slopes up-and-away from the object so the captured image goes from light gray at the bottom to dark gray/black at the top
* With a long necklace, either drape it over a neutral-colored stand or concentrate on one end of the necklace, allowing a "U" shape of the necklace to be the focal point
Thank you for the suggestions. I appreciate it. :)
It is just one of my personal necklaces and I wanted it to blend in with the nature.
I understand that if you want to sell jewellery and it is a product that you would like people to buy, nothing should take away the attention of the product itself.
I will keep what you said in mind, especially if I am ever going to sell a product. Right now I am kind of experimenting and having some fun with things. :)

How about this one?
Do you think the pink background takes away the attention of the necklace?
