I am really enjoying this image very much. Love the colors, especially how the combination of the understated duotoned background makes the yellow of the shell pop. I also like how the blue shadow contours and contrasts with the yellow outline of the shell. Very beautiful! I can see this photo in a catalogue of jewelry. Good luck!

Comment by Rooster:
nice idea but might have been better if it were a fake pearl instead of the earring. Kind takes away from the feeling put across by the title.

Greetings from the Critique Club John

This is a difficult shot to Critique - I'm very surprised by it's finishing so high in the voting, and I think that's a triumph of subject over technique. There are a few things that strike me immediately: the dead space in the sky - doesn't even count as negative space as it's not adding anything to the shot: would the shot be worse without it? I think it would be improved, rather. Cutting off the feet is a weird choice - especially cropping or framing so low down the leg. It almost becomes the focus of the composition for me ... what's so terrible down there that he wanted to avoid it? Then there's the odd inclusion of that pole with the bird sitting on it, and part of the bridge ... I can't see the rationale for these elements being here.

I think Azrifel's point regarding the composition is very valid, and well made.

Perfectly acceptable exposure, and I like the surprise element of the backs-to-the-camera thing - and there is a sense of caring in the pose of the two figures.

I think you've done exceptionally well to score as you did. Good luck in future.
