Pearls are imortal

Comment:
the styrofoam/polystyreme peanuts seem a little incongruous in this context and the bowl is rather centered which to me at least breaks the natural flow of the pearls. A lower POV might have rendered some interesting reflections in the bowl and you would have had a shot with an original message. For me I don't think this quite achieves the effect you are looking for in an ad.

I'm afraid that the background and text detract from the ring in this for my taste at least

Comment:
such a hard challenge in many ways. Sadly this is much too flatly lit to be considered for print and the sharpness is lacking. Lighting from the side or a little behind (even with a battery operated flashlight) would help add some texture

Not immediately clear that it is a dart board but a great macro all the same

Off the wall, and I like it although I suspect it may not appeal to the masses. Good luck!
