I very much want to turn the camera to the right. Or crop out the left. But I do love the subject and gritty nature of things. It meets the challenge very well in that it is not trying to look old but is specifically and "old way" brought into the now with the tools given. Thanks for bringing us there 8:

Here's to well used feet and hands! The focus seems like it might be a bit off but the colors, story and composition make up for it 8:

The Ring and The Lillies
by bennettjamie

Comment:
Jewelry in NOT easy to photograph well. It is small, reflective, and somewhat unforgiving. So your subject is tough to start IMHO.
The background and ring are equally banal when combined here. Neither is being explored and they don't relate to each other in a cohesive way. A more interesting composition or more detailed macro would add some interest. I gave it a 5 for the good lighting and color.

I gave this a 7.
IMHO the score you received was too low. But the only reason it is below a 5 is that you didn't get any 8-10 score which would have negated those 1-3 scores.
In comparison, check out this SH#! image from me a few years back. . Even my wife told me not to submit ...

You image is much better and like I said, received a 7 from me.
I think it kind of begs to have the bee a bit tighter in the frame and a bit sharper. People like sharp bugs - personally, I like your approach here - the colors are great, The bokeh is great and if you posted this on Facebook I'm sure it would get accolades. But here you are judged by photographers who have seen 1 million bug shots where you can see every little detail.

I think I prefer the simplicity of this one. It has a classic feel and is less "in your face" (no pun intended). For me, I prefer most of the outtakes you have for that reason. However, I knew your final entry would to well - I think to me personally, it is a bit intimidating or something =) That being said, it received my 2nd highest score in the challenge =D
