Silver on Black

I like the way you framed the photo with the white border leaving room for text outside the box. This looks good. I have no idea what type of jewelry this is. They actually look like letter openers, and the way they are positioned almost look like scissors (ahhhh, not more scissors!!!). ;^) Good luck.

"Timeless" Classic

Nice clean crisp image. Well done with the lighting and DOF. The starbursts are a nice touch, but you went overboard...should have just kept them to the watch, distracting on the chain and seem unrealistic there. Good luck in the challenge.

Very clever way to incorporate all three into your image. I like the way you arranged the three objects (composition) and the lighting is very good considering having to work with the bright scissors. Very good black/white points. Good luck.

I like the way you've framed this and have the text in a border area outside of the image. The jewelry has a few hot spots from lighting which makes it seem a bit out of focus in comparison to the backdrop used. Overall a nice photo. Good luck.

A Lifetime Together Deserves The Best...

Simple composition...it works just fine. Nice sparkle in the diamond. Lighting may be just a shade hot. What is reflecting in the mans ring? Looks like the edge of a table or a persons head? Overall - nice shot. Good luck.

The Earring

Nice idea...let the earring stand out against the darker areas of the image. I would like to see a bit more of the jewelry. Perhaps crop most of the face and some of the shoulder out... Just a thought. Good luck in the challenge.

If you were going for a rich warm tone, it worked. If not - the lighting is off a bit. ;^) I like the way you've grouped the watches, it's a unique twist to what I've seen thus far. One problem with the watches laying flat is you're getting some excess reflections on the watch faces. A polarizer would have helped some with that. Regarding the text, another color choice might have been a gold that coordinates with the watches. Of course, this all just my opinion. Hope all goes well for you with the challenge - good luck.

That's an interesting approach, using nightshot mode. I've never tried it...think I'm going to investigate. Thanks for opening my eyes to this possibility! Smile and keep having fun... ;^)

I'm glad I took a peek at your portfolio. This is a fun photo. Very creative. I'm curious, what is the reflection in the top left of the bowl? Looks like a fence or the front of a Jeep? ;^)

Round Brilliant Two-Tone Ring

Interesting choice of background. Good job on the DOF. I'm thinking you probably should have rotated the ring up a bit to show off the diamond and lose the photographers reflection in the band above the jewels. ;^)
