I like this idea however the overall image is a little too dark. 5

Great texture. Maybe a little too central however good take on the challenge. 6

Good idea. The composition and lighting set the mood perfectly. However I think too much noise reduction was applied. The person and his clothing have a very plastic look. 6

First Impression: Simple uncluttered image. Detail of the ring captured quite well.

Composition: The offcentre placement of the ring works well and seems to be balanced with the text.

Exposure: If a moody effect is what was intended then the exposure is good. There are only a few small hot spots on the ring. This may have been preventable by changing the camera and/or lighting angle.

Impact: The impact of this image is very subtle. Depending on the expected audience of the advertisement this may work though a more dramatic image might be more effective.

Keep shooting.

Nightmare: Savage Ducks
by tasha4paws

Comment:
The motion of the ducks if interesting. The hand is distracting maybe due to overprocessing. It doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the image.

This image seems to portary a dreamy mood however the lighting is very harsh and there seems to be something clouding the image only in the middle. This may have been intensional.

Great idea to use the arch to frame your subject. More contrast between your main subject and the background would probably give the image more impact. The bright area of the sky is a bit distracting. A slightly different vantage point may have allowed you to minimize it. 6

Blurry Dreams of Beautiful Places

Zooming during exposure can create some wonderful effects. You've found a very nice location to use this technique. The red of the tree and the bridge are a great focal point. However the image as a whole feels a little out of balance. The bit of water on the far right doesn't seem to add anything to the image and could probably be cropped out. 7

The focus is perfect though maybe a bit too central. The soft focus around the edges projects a nice dreamy mood. 7

Deja Vu du Lys

Great lighting. However, there seems to be some hot spots. I don't know if that could be avoided or not. The negative space works really well.8
