Exotic Beauty in Gold & Pearl

Comment by srbrubaker:
It's a very organic piece of jewelry, so it is completely appropriate that it be juxtaposed with a natural object whose simplicity and geometric form suggests manmade objects. As much as I like the idea, the colors, the forms, I think that the allium or whatever the flower is creates a visually confusing background which makes seeing the beautiful form of this piece more difficult.

Exposure & detail look good here, but composition is so busy the jewelry seems a bit lost in this shot.

I like the colors. It could have used more seperation from the jewelry to the flower so not so much of the flower was is sharp focus.

Nice perspective, but some of the detail is lost in the front petal

Nice colors, but I think the plant and the jewelry are fighting for attention. The composition is too busy for me. Probably would work if you made the plant darker somehow, then the jewelry would stand out more. Great concept, though!

Item gets lost in the background. The flat lighting doesn't add interest to the shot.

Your flower is distracting from your jewelry

It looks like all the stamens(?) are looking at the exotic beauty and that is fun. But the reflections on the gold are a distraction. I don't have a clue how you could avoid it other than raising the piece up a bit and closing down the lens.
