This was edited at home and should have known better - got pretty beat up in the comments.
FWIW, that is NOT a man's ear, but rather a 105lb. dainty woman's ear - my wife's to be precise. Guess the detail was just a little TOO clear here with the peach fuzz showing too well.
It's nice how you show the colored earring against a black and white of the person. Really makes the jewelry stand out. The only thing that detracts for me is the hair in and around her ear. It looks like it's on a very old person--was that the intent?
Nice image of the earing, but having a person where the jewelry detracts from the intent to sell the jewelry. Overall this is an excellent photo, but it doesn't work as a jewelry ad in my opinion. The details on the model (hair, freckles and skin) overwhelm the subject of the image the earring
The picture itself is remarkable. Crisp, well-lit, wonderful and appropriate use of desat. Those are not easy stones to shoot. The type is doing you no favors herem however. One thing I notice that's really bugging me, though; this would appear to be a MAN, with a BEARD, and then there's the downy ear-hair... Seems at odds with the headline, "Color HER world"... What do you mean, if I wear an earring it color's my GAL's world? I don't quite get it. So basically you're confusing me with an otherwise wonderful image. Strong score regardless.
How can I say this without potentially hurting someones feelings...I love the color of the jewelry, in focus, great lighting...the model's facial hair is distracting for this type of photo (Jewelry Advertisement). Not sure what the solution is (if any is needed, after all this is just my opinion)...maybe apply a slight blur? Overall, great shot. Good luck.
The line is great as is the photo. I have a problem with the ear. Too much detail that really takes away from the idea. Perhaps a different DOF or neat image.
very good composition and the jewelry pops where it should. Your only problem, I hate to say is that when you do a close up on an ear for jewelry it should be without distracting hair, wrinkles etc....or it somewhat distracts. (they probably shave young 20ies models ears for this kind of shot. Your idea etc...were excellent though.
nice detail in this shot but too much detail on the model takes away from the jewelry. the ear and face should have been PS'd to clean it up. Great idea all in all.
This is a good image...the selective desat works well. However, I find that as a woman, I am a bit more focused on the hairs on her ear and face than the earrings...it makes the earrings less appealing and they (the hairs) seem to distract because they bring my attention to them instead. I also find that the text at the top is a bit light; perhaps just the text at the bottom would be best.
