Hmmm...sure is a lot of red in there. For me it's not appealing (the color that is), but that's JMO. The ring itself came out very nice. Good full color in the stones with nice lighting. Perhaps just a bit too shallow on the DOF - the leading edge of the ring under the front three stones should be in focus. Again, JMO. ;^) Good luck in the challenge.

Hey - They're water droplets! Cool idea. ;^) Nice job on the composition. Looks like natural lighting was used - smart idea. I like it. You may take a hit for not attempting to incorporate some text, but hey - it should still do ok. Good luck.

Something Old...Something New...

That is the strangest necklace I've ever seen. Interesting, and certainly different. Where did you find such a piece of jewelry? Lighting is close to being overexposed on the (curtains?) and has totally blown out on some of the jewel faces. It's a neat idea. Good luck in the challenge.

Aw Man! Where's the 300 ring? ;^) This is a fun photo. Very shallow DOF to have the 299 in focus and not the 298? Too bad you couldn't get a different angle to eliminate the reflection (of the table edge?) visible on the bottom of both stones. Good luck in the challenge.

Interesting photo, but how does this fit as a 'Jewelry Advertisement'? Really, I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I just don't see the connection. Cool photo tho.

Imperial Jade with Diamonds on White Gold Band

Interesting piece of jewelry. I'm thinking this may have worked better on a black background to let the ring and diamonds pop out a bit?

Very, very, nice. Clean, crisp image. Well lit and composed. Good job. I might have selected a cursive type font perhaps, but that of course is subjective. Good luck.

Exotic Beauty in Gold & Pearl

Now that's very interesting, and kind of confusing. The jewelry blends in a bit (reflections on the gold make the gold band disappear like camoflage) and for the life of me I can't figure out what that white stuff in the middle is. It's fun and creative. Good luck.

Give Her Beaded Elegance in Turquoise

Nice shot under tough lighting conditions. I wonder how this would have looked if you cropped say 100 - 125 pixels off the top? I like the sparkle in her eye. Does she have something blue on her lips? The beads on the end of the earring are a bit hot. Overall, a very interesting approach to this challenge...I like it. Good luck.

Very contemporary look. Nice job. Looks just like many ads one would find. I don't have anything to add. Good luck on the voting.
