My Wife's Favorite Necklace

I can easily see this as an advertisement. Makes for a great ad copy. Have you considered shooting against black? I think gemstones appear much more flattering against black. 7

And a little bit of cleavage doesn't hurt?

I like the soft focus and the necklace is well lit. I would have cropped off the bottom personally. However, the advantage for adding it in are two-fold: helps to define the location and dimensions of the necklace and offers a bit of adolescent sex appeal, which overall does not seem to negatively effect the ratings here at DPC. The lighting is a bit irregular on the right breast (the one on the left side of the picture) and therefore gives further cause to have either edited it or cropped it out.

The model's skin as a side note is blemished a bit due to the freckles which detracts from an advertisement point-of-view.

I like the humor in this entry. :-)

The lighting appears a bit harsh, directed low from the bottom, but overall a nice entry.

Wow! What a fantastic entry. Love the DOF. Excellent lettering as well. My top three for the challenge.

I like the model's pose and her upward gaze. The lighting is great and it imparts a flattering soft glow. The position of the earring I think could have been made to be more the center of focus in this ad perhaps by cropping less of the right edge.

I like the lighting here but it has a pinkish cast to it which may actually reflect the true color of this piece, but appears somewhat odd. I think this works very well for an advertisement. 7

Love the humor in this entry. I would like to suggest the following: selectively highlight the chain and desaturate the blues and reds to eliminate the colored highlights off those links.

Round Brilliant Two-Tone Ring

What can I say, this is just exceptional! The only suggestion is to rotate the ring so that the center stone is angled up higher instead of resting on the surface and thus being angled down. Perhaps use a dot of glue to prop it in that position. Other than the position of the stones, you nailed this one with this excellent jewellery advertisment! 10

I like the soft lighting and the composition. The lettering is OK, but it appears too sharp (aliased and jagged).

Nice DOF. Good sharp focus on the beads and nice lettering.
