What a wonderful and creative idea for your photo! Color, comp, DOF, lighting ... all well done. Text works, Font works., nice and light and doesn't overpower the ring. It may be an intentional misspelling, but it's DeBeers. DeBears is a Chicago football team.

Beautiful photo. I like the way you have framed the earrings with the lines. Composition is great. Focus holds up on your entire subject. Well done.

Natural pearls

Very nice photo and I gave it a good score. Two things would improve it in my opinion: 1) DOF is such that you're losing focus on the edges of the pearls. It may be just my predjudice but I think having all the pearls with the DOF limits would improve it slightly. 2) The background appears to be a single monochrome color. I believe it would add interest if there was some variation in the background. Not something to go crazy with but something subtle. Neither of these are a big deal, just slight improvement at the margin. Good luck.

Because You LOVE her

I like this very much and gave it a good score. You chose a nice font for this, however, I think it could be improved by changing the color of the font. The yellow overpowers the jewelry because it is so bright. Next time, try using your color picker and choosing a color already in the photo for the text. The text would then harmonize witht the photo better. You can try this without reshooting. See if it doesn't improve it. PM me if you'd like after the voting ends.

The photo of the rings is superb. Good lighting, color, focus, composition ... nearly perfect. But the COLOR of the text detracts. Next time I would suggest using your color picker and choosing a color for the text that is in the photo. More of a gold than a yellow. As it is the color of the text overpowers the otherwise fine photo. I don't much care for the font, but that's just personal prejudice. I might have chosen a lightr weight font more in keeping with the delicate rings. I have a favorite font that might have worked well, Papyrus. You can try these suggestions w/o reshooting. See if they don't help. PM me if you'd like after voting ends.

I grew up in a place that looked much like this, Montana USA, where the culture of the old west presided, and boot hill was something real, because people really died with their boots on. I like it a lot and it gave me a real nostalgia trip. Thanks and good luck!

Wonderful photo. I love the colors and especially the color of the stone contrasting with dark background. Great composition. So far, among the best I've seen this challenge.
