Be the light...

That's quite expensive for a candle...*just kiddin* ;) Lighting is interesting and the reflection gives this shot something interesting, just wished there'd be a little bit more. Too bad we don't see the jewel that much. Text is too intrusive for my taste and the colour is a bit harsh for the candle's pinkish look. 6

Wierd but, this shot is rather 'dark' and 'scary'.. with the eyes in the background. Lighting is quite wrong as there are spots of white, blue and red everywhere. Ring is not sharp enought to make it out properly. text is funny, if a bit non-existant. There's this beige spot on the lower left that bugs me quite a bit too. 5

A Lifetime Together Deserves The Best...

Interesting idea, although the rings could've used lots more sharpness. Lighting seems too much and the shadow work on the white background is very buggy. 5

Very strong and rich lighting on this picture. The gold effect of the watch is very stunning. I'm not very keen on the background colour tho; the monochrome effect seems to take lots away. Text is good if perharps a bit too intrusive for my taste, its colour is a good choice. I have a few hickups about the bracelet tho, there are wierd lighting spots (reflection?) which kind of take away from the nice leather effect. Very good selection of 'time' (that was my big mistake in this challenge) as it doesn't obstruct the name or important informations on the watch. Good work! 7

Nice work! Sharpness of the rings are nice, and the DOF is good as well! (5.6?). Text is a bit wierd, probably suffered too much from the compression, but that's ok, in a mag, it wouldn't show like that so its forgivable ;) All i can say is thank god for Macro..(?!). 7

Cute idea. Lighting on the pearls is neat, but doesn't give much to go on. The Shell decoration takes too much place in the picture in my opinion. 6

Very nice composition. The look is original and the DOF is nice as well. I'm not sure why you choose not to put the jewels in focus, but it does well in showing the 'size', but not the 'quality' of th eproduct. Model is interesting and very glamourous. One thing i don't like is the right eye with the glasses effect (kind of buggy). Other then that, nice work, just wished i'd see the jewels better. 8

Interesting idea. Composition is rather weaks, i feel it cuts away from the mood of the shot by 'cutting' the bowl the jewels stand on. Lighting is not very effective either, especially on the bracelet on the left. Nice sharpness tho. Keep at it! 6

Round Brilliant Two-Tone Ring

Interesting way to show the ring. Lighting is interesting, especially the way it splits the picture in half. Text is unfortunatly way too much to read and takes too much space, taking lots away from the jewel itself. Not sure on the texturized background tho, kind of takes away from the lustrate and shinny ring. 6

Cool idea. I like the way this is presented, unfortunatly, the bottom part is cut and is bugging me quite a bit. Also the text suffered from compression as its uneven. Nice little frame too. 7
