Very nice portrait.
I love the backlighting that shines through her hair. In my opinion the lighting here is really good. No distracting hot spots or dark shadows and it's really pretty even throughout the photo.
I like the diffent angle you chose for this, and I think that the cropping is well done too. I like the diagonals.
The only thing that I keep coming back to that I might like to see differently is the positioning of the eyes. They seem to be looking just a bit too far to the right (her left). I wouldn't want to see them looking straight at the camera, but maybe just a bit more toward the camera would seem more natural. Maybe natural isn't the best word, but I hope you get my point.
I love the selective coloring. Really draws the attention to the necklace. I think you did a really nice job with that and for me, that's what really makes the photo stand out.
I'm debating weather or not this would make an effective ad. While it is a really good portrait, I'm not sure if it would make me want to rush right out and buy this necklace. Where would the text go?
Focus and clarity are really good, and overall the image has high visual appeal to me and I would rate this well.

| I like the idea, but it appears like the choker is a little dark on the sides. |

If I said I gave you a 10, I wouldn't be lying. :-) |

| I love the idea behind this image. You've focused the attention on the necklace with the color. The focus on the necklace needs to be just a little sharper to fully get the job done. |

| The desat makes the Piece stand out nicely, but I'd like the jewelry to a stronger feature of the ad (I.E. larger, more detailed. |

| Cool jewel! Very unique and intriging. I'd wished for tighter crop to see the item better. don't need to see the model's shirt. Since this is threated as a portrait, a better focus on the model as well as the item coudl've been appreciated and some sharpening as well. more light as well on the item. ncie work tho. 6 |

| Nice desat. I think for a Jewelry Advertisement I would have come in closer for more emphasis on the necklace. Good job on controlling the hot backlighting. |

Composition here is good. Not sure if her eyes looking in that direction work for this shot, as there is little area/space for her to be theoretically looking at.
Backlighting on her hair is casting a harsh appearance and makes it look oversharpened in these areas.
Perhaps a different focal point for her and/or a natural smile would have given more of a sense of ease in this shot.
The jewellery is well represented here. |
