Cool subject, it feels so bleak, but then there's the splash of colour & activity. I think this would have also been a cool entry for the Minimalism challenge if there's space to zoom out. The framing makes this shot, IMO.

A very effective image perhaps a fugitive from minimilistic 9

Cool, like this. It seems noisy, and possibly over sharpened by camera or processing. 8

Thank you for entering the DPChallenge, Jewelry Advertisment.

Great idea showing the pearl jewelry in a serpentine pattern. The overall design is very interesting. A piece of jewelry that will be notice by everyone. The tree rows of pearls on the subject draws the eye to the front and back of the jewelry.

I wonder if you could have fit the entire piece on the frame. The rear portion of the jewelry is out of sight. The head of the piece is a bit blurry, or out of focus.

The gold light bouncing off the pearls makes it attractive. However the overall tone of the image is dark. There seems to be area's in the photo that need some highlights, in order to show more details. There is also some grain/noise on the pearls themselves. This could be from an understated light source. Or even from the light shine projected on them. Wondering if you had re position the jewelry in the opposite direction, if it would have presented better. In other words, have the dragon head piece on the right side instead of the left side, as you have it now. This way it would view left to right. It would have given you a another lighting angle for your photo.

Like the title and the compositional idea's. A bit dark and noisey. Check your image output size to maximize the number of pixels for a better internet display.

Good luck on your next DPChallenge.
