Not quite enough to keep interest, and the glare is distracting on the left of the frame. Perhaps narrower dof could have isolated your point of focus more.

Thank you for entering the DPChallenge, Jewelry Advertisment.

It does look very tropical and elegant. The flowers you picked are beautiful and compliment your jewelry selection. The soft blue and white colors creates a soft and calming effect. It does take you somewhere warm and tropical, with a cool breeze coming through the window.

The flowers however seem to overwhelm the subject. They seem to cover and hide the necklace. It appears that the necklace is possibly too long for the display. Its seems to have no beginning or an end to it. If you are selling a product like jewelry, the entire product must be seen. You also get the inpression because of the placement of the elements that this ad is selling flowers or jewelry. A confusion is created and there by some distraction. This very unfortunate, since this is a potentially a very beautiful display.

Technically your shot is sharp and well presented. Your close up of the subject is very good. Your composition is well thought out. I like your font choice. Its the type you see in your newspaper and magazine ads. You do come away feeling that the jewelry was struggling with the flowers for attention.

Overall a good job. Work on your subject presentation emphasis.

Good luck in your next DPChallenge.

Would have liked to see more of the chain instead of mostly flower, but still well done.

The focus here seems to be the flower, not the jewelry.

I like the use of the flowers, but the way it's setup it appears more like the flowers are the focal point, not the necklace.

Did you try many setups for this one? I like the concept, just wandering in you could have made it a little more interesting by movingt the "chain" to the foreground. (I´m not shure it would make a difference). I find the flower a little soft. Like the picture though.

This is a very good concept but the necklace did not get the required attention to bring out its texture and golden tones. The flowers win. Bumping up.

The jewelry should be the focus of the photo and in this image the flower takes center stage
