Jewelery in a museum glass display. Lighting was not optimal and shelf was almost 6ft off ground. Did the best I could.

I like the composition with the "V" formation in this. For me the lighting doesn't work. The pearls look oddly "flat and over-exposed, the pendant/closure is not bright enough. Those are diamonds (or similar) and I would want to see them sparkle. Definitely depicts money though :-)
Fits the bill as far as the challenge theme is concerned but for the rest it makes no visual impact nor does it have anything that makes it exceptional and I rate it just below average. 4
