The Black Pearlby

This is a very nice image. There really is only one or 2 things I might like to see a bit differently.
First is the light reflection. The photo is lit wonderfully. No distracting shadows, or blaring hot spots. but the light reflection in the black pearl could be a little smaller in my opinion. I think it's important to have the reflection, it shows that it's a shiny object and without it, i think it might be a bit too plain. But maybe just a little smaller as to not take up so much of the pearl?
The other thing is that I personally would like to see a little bit more of the background in focus. Maybe just the start of the first shell in the background, and then fad it from there.
I love the positioning of the ring and the shells. Very nice set up.
Like I said, lighting is also great. I love the soft feel of the photo.
Color is great as is the focus and clarity.
Overall a great image, one to be proud of for sure and one that I could definately see in an ad. Congrats.
