Winter Sparkles

This is my favorite so far.

I love the "reflection"... not at all fond of the "shadow".

The colors are wonderful and I love the white background and the fonts you've chosen.

I was loving this, until... I got to the "reflection". Then you lost me.

I love it if I crop the "water" out with my hand.

For one, it's not realistic enough and for the second, it makes her left elbow/arm very awkward.

I'd love to see this without the alteration of the "water" and with the word not covering her head... perhaps on a layer behind her head?

The words are sharper than the jewelry... not a good sign in a jewelry advertisement that's supposed to be selling me something... and I can't see it.

Also, in general in photography, the brightest place in the image is where the eye goes first. The corner of the book is the brightest spot. I wish it were the clock face since the watch is fabulous!

For a jewelry advertisement, the jewelry has to be tack sharp! I struggled to read the lower left words... and I'm disappointed since I like everything about this "ad" except for the photograph. But... it's a photography challenge, in the end.

The Iris Opal

Comment:
If I saw this image outside of the challenge topic, I'd not have any idea of what it was (without the title). And... I have to say that even knowing the challenge topic, I'm not loving this.

For a jewelry advertisement, I want to be able to discern it's a jewel... and then WANT the jewel. This does neither for me, I'm really sad to have to say.

I totally love every single thing about your advertisement.

Well... except the cat's ears compete for the brightest part of your image and draw the eye too much away from the jewelry.

The eyes are great...

Love the light elsewhere and the sparkles!

Where is the jewelry in your jewelry advertisement?

Am I blind?

There is so much excitement in the text that I almost miss what you're trying to sell to me.

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas

There is so much going on in the background that it overwhelms the jewelry, in my opinion, instead of highlighting it.
