Lava rock cutting the sky

I think this photo could have done a lot better, but didn't for two reasons: (1) it's too small, and (2) it's too dark. I'm glad you didn't burn anything in, because it certainly doesn't need to get darker! Making it bigger and bringing out some foreground detail (which probably would have been possible within basic editing), and maybe sharpening it a bit, would, I think, turn this into a really stunning picture.

Something Old...Something New...

great texture, lovely lighting, impressive jewelry collection - but it doesn't really look like an advertising image to me. the rings here are part of the composition and not the sole focus.

I find myself more drawn to the amethyst ring than the pendant. i wish it were more prominent in this picture.

killer lighting and background. I like the subtlety. while this image is not in-your-face in the way many advertisements are, it is still direct and its product is clear. I can easily imagine this being in a magazine. the one thing I might want to change would be that I'd try burning in the hand a bit, to put more emphasis on the wrist and watch. (8)

is the text at the bottom all in the same font size? it looks very strange and chunky. 6 - would have been 7 but the text is really throwing me off.

Girls can never have enough jewelry!!!

the challenge is to make a jewelry advertisement, and while there is jewelry in this photo, it does not look like an advertisement. I do not think this meets the challenge

Diamonds are Forever

Comment:
some things to think about-
1. seems like "Will you marry me?" should have been enclosed in quotation marks.
2. the next line is "Say it with flowers," but there's only one flower...
3. if we're supposed to say it with flowers, what is the ring doing there?
4. if this is a jewelry advertisement, why should we say it with flowers?

The Links Collection

great color treatment - the jewelry really stands out. the typography is good too, though perhaps just a wee bit small, and I think the text in the upper right ("The fine art . . .") should have been vertically aligned with the script at the edge. (7)

hi, arnit. *wink*
great job matching the font used in cartier's logo. though the placement looks rather arbitrary to me.
