Hi Kosmikkreeper...
Composition - nice job placing the main subject in the corner and not in the middle. It makes for a much nicer looking photo.
Exposure - the exposure looks a little light on the ear and hair, but I'm not sure whether thats due to the desaturation or not... The earing looks very well exposed.
Color - interesting what you did here with the color saturation... I really like the way the earing stands out! Nice job with that. The only thing I would say is that the picture looks a tad bit grainy to me...
Focus - pretty good job on focus... maybe just a tad soft, but not much.
Background - like I said, i love the way you brought out the blue earing by desaturating everything else... Looks great!
Fit for Challenge - doesn't give me a feeling of blue, though there is some blue in it... It fits well enough in the literal sense of the challenge.
Lighting - I like the lighting here... the light spot on each bead is cute, and there are no obviously blinding flashes of bright.
Wowability - It's a nice picture, but it doesn't really catch my eye as much as a lot of the others. It's not the most interesting subject in the world, and I think you may have lost a few points for that.
Final Comments - overall not bad. It's a pleasing photo to look at, and its a good learning aid for those working with saturation etc. Nice job!
Did a very nice job of displaying color on black and white. Saturation levels, i assume. the angle and framing/cropping are nice, i like how the ear ring lands on a third. Your focus is very nice as well. Good luck in the challenge.
technically it seems too bright...the macro is just too much in your face with an ear lobe... just feels unpleasant to look at this pic... but thats just my own personal opinion
