Love this image. The clarity of the diamonds is wonderful. There is a halo around the image that is somewhat distracting.
Post actions
Outstanding....gotta be one of the top ten!
Post actions

Original and extremely well photographed. My favorite of the challenge. Great job!
Post actions
great concept, great execution ... best presentation within this challenge of hard
Post actions
Great close up shot and wonderful lighting. This should fair quite well, so good luck.
Post actions
The detail in this shot is amazing and you did an outstanding job with the setup and lighting. Very nicely done!
Post actions
great idea and well presented . 7
Post actions
Nice one! ;-) Compositionally I think it would work better for me with just one of the rings.
Post actions
The best photo of diamonds in the challenge! Great concept, my only suggestion is that the chocolate kiss doesn't look like chocolate, and is rather un appealing. The rings are the subject of the photo and are displayed in a way that makes me want to buy them!
Post actions
Very well done good comp.
Post actions
Just WOW ! The clarity, logo, lighting...everything is perfect ! 10
Post actions
the text seems kiddish... remember.. school kids dont buy diamonds.. only professionals do. your text should have said... "give her your best".
Post actions
This looks perfectly delicious and perfectly professional. 10.
Post actions
Post actions
A contender for a ribbon for sure, wonderful clarity.
Post actions
Post actions
Needs some warmer lighting IMO. Lovely composition and concept.
Post actions
GREAT SHOT! the colors are great! No glaring light but everything is very well lit up. The chocolate kiss is a great addition. I see this at the top! 10
Post actions
great pic - took a little time to realise what the brown thing was :)
Post actions
Great clarity and sharpness. It looks a little too close up for me, but an original idea!
Post actions
I think you have got the most (best) detail of the jewelry of the entire bunch here. Very nice sharp shot. Simple and effective. Nice lighting and just that itty bitty reflection on the upper right of the lower ring. Great shot.
Post actions
Excelletn capture of the silver, one of the best I have seen!
Post actions
Post actions
nice sharp focusing, great job.
Post actions
This chocolate is kinda gross. But great image.
Post actions
IMO this is a nice shot very sharp and in focus the lighting is well but i wish there werent shadows in the rings but thats ok i like chocolate kisses so that makes up for it- 10
Post actions
Super clarity here, and I like the composition and idea. Super use of depth of field to add mystique. 9
Post actions
nice job and very cute too
Post actions
That's have to be the best diamond shot in this challenge. I like the lighting, the fact that I can actually see the diamond facets and not just a big flash. Good composition also and I like the combination you made here. However, the choice of font could have been better. 9
Post actions
I really like this picture and the idea. The combination of all the elements make for a brilliant idea. Very well executed.
Post actions
one of my favorites so far. 8.
Post actions
Wow them rings look expensive. I like everything except that brown thing you`ve put them on.8
Post actions
Very creative and very well captured to meet the challenge. You get the extra points for cool composition and text. Bumping up.
Post actions
Ah, yes...chocolate! This is fun. Great detail and clarity. Some reflections on the outside of the rings I'm curious about, but can't define. I think those are going to drop this down a couple notches, but should still reach top 20. Good job.
Post actions
This is one of my favorites for this challenge. Great job! I gave it a 10.
Post actions
A hug and a kiss bundled together. Nice idea. Beautifully lit, crisply focused. Nice.
Post actions
beautiful picture! very clever.
Post actions
I really like the idea here, its very original and crisp.(Incredible photo!) Presentation of the rings is from a great angle. But, the text needs different palcement and a different font. Maybe a larger size too. But this is one of the best in the comp! (my Opinion with the usual disclaimers)
Post actions
definatly a high-placer
Post actions
Not sure advertiserswould go for this cheeky approach but fantastic capture of the rocks.
Post actions
Brilliant! in every sence of the word! The Blue without a doubt!
Post actions
I think I'd rather have seen the kiss still wrapped with gold jewelry...or even the white...or maybe do some photoshopping on the kiss, and add some sparkle to the ring.
Post actions
Beautiful composition and lighting combined with an original approach. Well done.
Post actions
excellent work. should be a ribbon winner Great detail on the rings, i know that it is very hard to show diamonds and still capture the details. Needless to say a 10.
Post actions
This is a perfect ad! As professional as any jewelry ad I've seen. What a great job you did!!!! I'm picking this for a ribbon . . . blue :) 10
Post actions
so sharp, one of my favorites
Post actions
Beautiful shot, I like the contrast of the colors, colors give this a wonderful tone.
Post actions
great photo! nice and sharp. Contrast over the kiss is great.. and a sense of humor :)
Post actions
If you would have gotten the chocolate wet, it would have looked better, shinier. I like the concept.
Post actions
good focus... it might be my imagination, but did you do any editing around the tip of the kiss? it looks like there is a dark "halo" on the top and right sides
Post actions
LOL - Great composition and superb imaging quality.
Post actions
Very professional lighting! Great photography. The processing left a slight halo around the kiss and rings which is slightly distracting, which considering this is supposed to be an ad, may be more of a factor than in other challenges. This is clearly one of the stronger entries though. 8
Post actions
ok dilema which would i want more....terricfic idea and a gorgeous picture.....
Post actions
Funny idea. Nice details. Uninspiring lighting. Font could use a better selection to complement the design of this image. Good luck!
Post actions
beautiful clarity in this image great work
Post actions
Very nice. I like everything you've done here. exposure is perfect. reflections and contrast are great. composition is great. text choice is perfect. the only 10 i've given so far
Post actions
Post actions
Nice sharpness on the stones, and they have a nice glitter as well..
Post actions
Give her the kiss and I'll take the rings ! Wow !! I love your idea and the way you achieved it. Superb.
Post actions
One of the top photos. Top 10 I'm sure.
Post actions
really like this idea!!! Very fresh and original.
Post actions
Wonderful close-up, great clarity.
Post actions
excellent, one of the best in the challenge.
Post actions
Lovely design and idea. Very nicely pulled off. I gave it an 8.
Post actions
Post actions
mmm...my favorite things :)
Post actions
One word..WOW!!!! the most professional presentation I have seen. Best of luck and I hope it is the Blue on;-)
Post actions
nice image - great focus. IMO, a bit more light on the diamonds would have helped, and perhaps given them the bit of sparkle they lack, and there is some slight haloing around some the edges - eg the very tip of the the kiss and the bottom left and mid right of the kiss as well. Otherwise, great job. - 8

Nice clear shot of the stones, best one for me 10
Post actions
Post actions
another one of my top picks...good focus,lighting,and detail...good luck
Post actions
very good image, not sure the brown holder is the best color but overall excellent 8
Post actions
GREAT job!!! perhaps little more sparkle to stones..overall nice...9
Post actions
Wonderfull. The Gems look great.
Post actions
Great shot. Only thing I would change is to use one of the chocolates that still has the swirly / droop down thing at the tip and shine it up with some oil or something. Great job though!
Post actions
I like this a lot one of my favorites nice work !!
Post actions
the choc looks really dry..would like to see it more moist..but love everything else (good font choice too!) 9
Post actions
Fantastic. Eye catching shot and your light is really nice.9
a diamond is forever
