I find this a tad too dark. I think if it was a bit brighter, the colour from the beads would come out more.

Pretty good shot - had you been able to carry the lighting a bit further back and maybe whiten the background more, it would have more "pop".

I like this shot....good compostion and I like the subject. I'd like to see the saturation bumped a bit to really bring the colours out.

the reflections are great here. I think it could use a bit more light from above the beads too. nice composition and DOF.

Good idea, but needs to be sharper.
