Very cool red sky - was that natural or editing?

Is this a negative?

Not sure the border adds to the image. Perhaps it would have been better in black - which mich have helped balance the more gray feel in the image itself. Very good take on the challange, though. 5

Thanks everyone for the votes - this is my first top ten, and my first over 6.0 ranking. I've learned a lot here, and look forward to learning a lot more from all you great folks.

This is OK - I find the colours a bit flat. The large area not in focus is a bit distracting - it may not be pssible, but if you could get the whole thing in focus with a deeper DoF, I think that would improve the image. Or, perhaps just crop away some (1/3 or so) of the left side, to remove a good percentage of the out of focus area.

I like this a lot - the cards reflecting in the drops are good. Did you do it in colour - the color of cards in the reflections would be even more interesting, I think.

focus seems to be more on the tip of the table? in the foreground, and not on the gems.

nice image - great focus. IMO, a bit more light on the diamonds would have helped, and perhaps given them the bit of sparkle they lack, and there is some slight haloing around some the edges - eg the very tip of the the kiss and the bottom left and mid right of the kiss as well. Otherwise, great job. - 8

Image looks a bit gray overall.

great lighting. Nice shine on the gems. I'd have perhaps cropped the top just slightly lower, 1/3 inch more or so, to really put the focus on the necklace.
