Very nice. Slick use of the word 'Antique' as a cover for the few nicks and dings. ;^) You did a good job by rotating the image. The lighting is right on. Good job. Hope this does well for you in the challenge.

Ok...you've got a little sex appeal going on. The image is well composed for what it is. I'm not sure there is enough emphasis on the jewelry...only the final results will tell for sure. Good luck.

Starflower Necklace of Beads

Nice job of lighting and use of background to tie the colors in with the jewelry item. I think the light could have been difused just a little more to tone down some of the hard glare coming from some faces of the stones. JMO. Overall, well done. Good luck in the challenge.

At first I was having a hard time figuring this out - couldn't get a size context. The cufflinks looked like box lids, and at first I thought the ring was some type of container. Maybe I need to take a break! ;^) Now that I've figured it out...I really like your choice of background materials. The lighting is right on, as is the focus. This should do well. Good luck.

Rich colors with the burgandy and gold. Nice detail in the watch. Good control of lighting and reflections. Well done.

Because You LOVE her

Ok. DOF may be a bit shallow for the jewelry. I understand the concept for the fade to back. The piece in the center is almost distracting to the gold chain. Good job on the lighting and I like your choice of text (words and font style). Good luck.

Something doesn't seem right. The jewelry doesn't appear to be in focus and comes across looking dull instead of sparkling. The backdrop has an area clearly in focus in the bottom right corner. Sorry, wish I could be more positive.

Very clever use of props for your background. Couple of starbursts...nice focus. Lighting may be a bright intense, but not extreme. Overall, good job.

The Perfect Setting

Ok, it's clean, the diamonds jump out nicely. Good use of lighting. If I had anything nitpicky to say it would be that the image is a bit small when there is a 640 maximum. Overall, great job. Good luck.
