The lighting choice does not fit the subject. There jewel feels out of place, and the focus is too much toward the right edge of the picture.

Good idea for a simple image.

Love the texture of the background, and the central point of focus seems to be perfectly aligned in the rule of thirds grid. However, it's hard for me to tell what the item is. The title indicates that it's a jewel, but is it a jewel in some sort of setting? A ring? A bit better lighting on the item would have helped me.

Meets the challenge. I would have liked to have seen a little crisper picture of the jewell or perhaps more definition to see the stone (reflections ect).

sort of washed out. The contrast seems a little too high. I like the composition.

Nice. I like the tall trees reaching for the sun. I thing the foreground is a bit too dark, but overall very good.

Cool shot, a different title might make it fit category better.
