New "old fashioned" collection

Composed welll as a three piece arrangement. Like the light reflecting off of a stone on the top right piece. Background looks dirty...that's a shame because otherwise this is a very nice job. Good luck.

One Gucci is never enough

Nice idea. Need some work on lighting to eliminate the many reflections of the photographer. Can see the head and shoulder in the top half of the image, the hands and camera directly under the watch face, and the head-shoulders-torso of the photog at the bottom. A white reflector board in front of you (hole cutout for camera lens) would get rid of many of these distractions. Good luck.

Sorry, I'm not getting the B/W connection for a jewelry advertisement.

Sales Event: Tropical Gold

It's a nice image. I think I would prefer to see more emphasis on the jewelry, but it's ok. Did you try a darker background like navy or black? Make everything pop a bit more. Overall, good job.

Nice color and detail. Interesting tie-in with the background. Good job.

Showbiz Glitz from Next

Neat idea, the image has a bit too much blue color cast in it for me. The jewelry piece itself I think could be cleaner - some dust on the band and the face of the watch that would have improved the image if it wasn't there. Good luck.

Pearls are imortal

I like the bowl, I like the background, I like the jewelry (although I would like to see it closer) - what I don't understand is the packing shells (foam peanuts)?

The Spawn of Time

Hey Keith - I just HAD to find one of your photos to COMMENT on based on something recently read in one of the forum posts. ;^) So...I opened up your portfolio, took a peek, and remembered how much I enjoyed this photo. Very clever the way you set it up. With 3 kids around the house we may have to try this ourselves. By the way, you get the high honor of receiving my 500th comment! Just had to say that. He-he...

Last a Lifetime

The jewelry seems to be a second point in this photo - the hands are overpowering what you intended to be the primary object. JMO. Nice ring...the reflections on the front of it make it look like there is something under the ring. If the hand were positioned down just a smidgen more it may have helped. Always easy to be the armchair quaterback I know. Good luck in the challenge.

Silver Heart Earrings

The first thing to jump out at me in this photo is the models eyes. If this was a portraint that would be good. The earring in this is not a focal point. JMO. She's very pretty - how did it look in color? Good luck in the challenge.
