Good idea, lighting and composition. Only minor change I might make would be to put a capital/larger "F" at the beginning of" Forest" to balance the initial "S."
I like the textures in this peice. Text is in the right location to be easily read. I gave it a 7. Only thing I do not understand and maybe it is just me. But the cord or chain does not seem to go through the loop.
I like the way you have composed the image with a diagonal split..it adds to the overall impact as well as accomodating the text very neatly.
Nicely done.
Nice composition. One of my favorites in this challenge. Clean simple lines. If the light was slightly higher it would have lightened up the top of the just slightly.
Interesting piece of jewely. I've seen similar objects in the past. Composition is interesting, reminds me of those insect shots we see. Unfortunatly, the lighting is a bit off and doesn't give enought credits to the object. I can't decide if there is a chain or something holding the neckless either. The wood texture is cool and is the strong point of the lighting, but doesn't complement the jewel too much, unfortunatly. text is nice and simple, but i can't seem to see it as very appealing for some reason. keep at it! 6
Composition: Very nice!
Lighting: very good! woud like to see the silver highlighted a bit more
Color: color of wood and amber appears a bit flat
Clarity:excellent!
Lettering: excellent!
Nice text, nice choice of background (wood) and most importantly, good job of photographing the jewelry piece. I like the lighting and the few hotspots. Those hotspots would have been really neat with a star filter. ;^)
