Very nice. I think the background is lava rock but I could be way off. I like that idea of the extremes in textures (yet gold comes from a rock of sorts so it is a fitting kind of background). But it isn't quite clear from this photo. It might just be a black towel, which I don't like. There could be a teeny bit more light on the lower petal to the immediate left of the frame. The shadow is good for developing the form but it is bit too dark and actually cuts off some of the form.

Only improvement I could see would be to bring a little --- just a little --- light to the leaf on the left. As it is, it fades into the rock background. Very nice image for this category. 9.

I like the fact that i can see that there is a though behind this shot. The way you placed the necklass...Angle and view point is really good, as are contrast.

What a great jewellery shot. Beautiful exposure and composition and the lighting plays very well off the pendant and shows the texture well. (10)
