This image was made with a friend's Canon 1Ds, at quality level small/fine. The necklace was arranged around its one pearl, on black velvet. A Canon closeup lens was attached to the 28/135 zoom. Post-processing was cropp, speck removal, unsharp mask, resize. An experiment, from which I learned what I had already been told, that doubling megapixels may or may not yield an increase in quality.

You really should make this bigger to get a better score. Use as much of the allowable size as possible to give your picture the best chance. I like your use of black bacground with the pearl/silver, but the pic is just too small.
