(Note: On my monitor settings at least, some of the pots show up too
dark, and I am not in favour of the coloured backgrounds in the images.
Your system may show the images differently. If not, you may feel
like using image adjustment software to see some of the pieces better.
Usually, I found that adjusting the gamma to a lighter setting helped.)
