The Earring
by saiphfire

Comment:
Nice idea...let the earring stand out against the darker areas of the image. I would like to see a bit more of the jewelry. Perhaps crop most of the face and some of the shoulder out... Just a thought. Good luck in the challenge.

Hamilton Watch Company circa 1958

If you were going for a rich warm tone, it worked. If not - the lighting is off a bit. ;^) I like the way you've grouped the watches, it's a unique twist to what I've seen thus far. One problem with the watches laying flat is you're getting some excess reflections on the watch faces. A polarizer would have helped some with that. Regarding the text, another color choice might have been a gold that coordinates with the watches. Of course, this all just my opinion. Hope all goes well for you with the challenge - good luck.

That's an interesting approach, using nightshot mode. I've never tried it...think I'm going to investigate. Thanks for opening my eyes to this possibility! Smile and keep having fun... ;^)

I'm glad I took a peek at your portfolio. This is a fun photo. Very creative. I'm curious, what is the reflection in the top left of the bowl? Looks like a fence or the front of a Jeep? ;^)

Round Brilliant Two-Tone Ring

Interesting choice of background. Good job on the DOF. I'm thinking you probably should have rotated the ring up a bit to show off the diamond and lose the photographers reflection in the band above the jewels. ;^)

Fake Rolex

That's a fake - really? ;^) Nice composition and lighting overall. I wish the date on the watch wasn't quite so dark. Good luck.

Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

Comment:
Cute, but I think your model is a bit young for diamonds - no? I like the composition. The lighting on the girl is ok, although I would like to see some sparkle in her eyes. The rings have lost some impact along the way. A little hot perhaps...just not clear and shiny as you would expect jewelry to be. Fun idea. Good luck in the challenge.

TIME to buy new jewelry

Wow - that's some bright colors! ;^) I wish your background was pure white instead of yellowish looking. Incandescent lighting? Black might have worked well also. Good luck.

All You Need Is Gold

Why B/W? And why is the skin so blotchy? The necklace does a decent job of standing out - I would think it would stand out more if it was against natural skin color. JMO. Good luck.

Omega DeVille Automatic Chronometer

Nice watch. I like the way you used the reflection in this image. What are the parallel lines? Table edge? This makes it obvious of the image rotation. Otherwise the lighting is good, nice DOF. Good luck.
