It's been forever since I submitted anything for a challenge entry. It really frustrated me since the photos that I thought were good did so poorly). Granted, there are several extremely poor photos in there as well that I knew were poor and submitted for the sake of submitting.
And I guess in some ways, this is also a submission for the sake of submitting. I know it won't be awesome, but my new camera (5.3 mega pixels rather than the 0.3 [yes, ZERO point three] of my old one) has a learning curve. Personally I still prefer film, but such is life.
This ought to be interesting. It'll be a miracle if this ends up in the top 50%

Nice image and well composed but I don't see the connection to stationery. If your intent is that the jewelery was used in place of stationery to convey his feelings, it doens't communicate that well and I couldn't have even make that connection without the title. Sorry.
hmm...interesting idea. I think there is too much focus on the jewelry and not enough on the stationery. Also the jewelry is lacking good focus--since it's such a large part of the picture I think it should be a bit sharper so it doesn't distract as much.
