Pretty good considering the 'studio' equipment you have.

This one is really nice. I like the dof and the lighting a lot. I would have liked the pearls laying not quite so flat. One of those headless type necks they display necklaces on would work well here. I agree that the border doesn't help the shot. I don't think it takes much away, but just not needed.

Not sure border helps...maybe a darker shade of pink, gray? Very well done design and layout though.

This would be a great ad. I don't know if it's just my monitor, but the pearls look sort of bronze or brown, somehow. Otherwise, I love it.

Pearls seem a bit dim to me, otherwise a fabulous job. Great graphics, too. 7

Hmmmm, I'm torn. I like it the way it is, but I'm curious what it would look like with ALL the pearls in focus, or at least the leading edge of the earings (they ARE earings?).

This is quite nice, I like the centered composition on the black background, the text works nicely too. Nicely done.

Dear anonymous participant,
This by chance, came up next and just noticed that it will be 2,000 image comment since I joined this site, and am actually happy this shot came up, as I really like it!
Composition is well laid-out, the lighting is soft enough and the text / font used as well as the message are just right. In a member's challenge, you would have been able to destaurate / tone down the 2 orange lighting reflections in the back, but such is life in an Open Challenge.
Good luck and now going to add to my favorites as a milestone tonight. (8)

be careful with your white balance and color balance...looks a little to tungsteny for my taste

This is lovely in conception, nice to look at until one gets in close. Unfortunately the forwasrdmost pearls are in front of the zone of sharpness and this hurts you badly IMO. More DOF would have done the trick. 7 from me, I really like the design, fonts, and tonality of this.

A nice shot and layout, but I'm wondering why you didn't make them a more "pearly" color.

Nice layout and concept. The lighting seems a bit warm - or you are selling low-quality pearls. Too gold.

I love the glowing nature captured in the photo of the pearls.
I'm afraid I feel less sanguine about the text. Wish it had some of that same warm sepia luster. Not sure I would pair these two fonts. When using three parallel one word sentences it's best if they are all the the same part of speech.

I really like the comp here. A deeper DOF and more contrast is needed to make the piece stand out. I like the text placement,

This looks like a ad. I wish the [earls were a little clearer in the front. Still it is a very good example.

Love the DOF and the text is just perfect. I gave this a 9 but I would have liked to see a little more light on the pearls. Good job.

Very nice. Only issue is the crop is maybe a tad tight and the pearls a tad yellow.

the pearls look very yellow..would either make the text more creamy and yellow or whiten up the pearls
