Comment by Bear_Music:
This is a sweetly composed shot. In many ways it's very pleasing. I have a couple very specific nits, though.

1. The tonal range seems "off" somehow. I can't but my finger on it, but it's "dull". It may just be the mottled, flat gray BG, not sure. Certainly, there seems to be true black and true white, but overall the luminosity of the image isn't what I'd expect of the setup.

2. The way your lighting is set, the shadow lines exactly parallel the leftmost ear post, and this produces a strange effect in the lower left corner.

Still, a nice, subdued, detailed image and a strong score from me.

So, are you using a 24/7 or a 16/8 light cycle? Do you have alternating nodes yet? Have you been able to determine the sex yet? Give me a call when its time to harvest!!

It's an awesome picture!!

Ooooh, it looks a bit like handcuffs to me. :-) I don't know, it looks a little too dull for me.

love the layout, background would look better if it was much lighter (i think)

Great composition and lighting. Too much shadows however. I suspect you placed the earrings on a glass; that's why the double shadow. I don't know if it was intended that way, but I think it detract from the main subject.

Nice use of lighting, like the double shadow effect. Black and white was also a great choice.

I can see this as an add. Well done. I really like the way you layed out the two ear rings.
