Exotic Beauty in Gold & Pearl

the pin cushion protea as the backdrop for this very unique piece of jewelry is very distracting, though I like the idea. Think the subject is just to large against the background. Like the reflections on the subject from the protea. May be tighter crop would help this for me. crop in left and bottom a bit? Not sure. it could work.

nice detail and lighting on the ring. too much copy or a smaller font? the background choice is not vey complementary to the subject.

This is a great shot of the model who appears to be on the move. But the placement of the watch and the ad copy seems to be more of an after thought than by design.

Diamonds are forever

not sure about the gray background on the left. The model is very pretty and has a nice smile and I like that she appears to be quite appreciative to someone for her gift. the earring is just too far right for my taste and the image appears more about the person than the jewel.

A little something extra

the color of the flower may not have been the best for this piece of jewelry, though I like the idea of the item being on a flower.

font is too large for my tastes. the detail and exposure on the ring are quite good and I like the reflections the ring picks up from the background. I would have liked to see the background, great choice of background, BTW, a bit darker while not losing the good exposure on the ring.

I like this a bit. the composition is very good and your use of focus with the necklace going from focus to extreme blur is a very nice touch. Like the colos as well. The jewels and setting a just a bit dark and lose some detail.

edit: changed blue to blur....yeesh.

looks a bit dark..the detail on the ring is very good, but the two jewels on the back of the hand may not have been a good idea. A little more background all around and the copy would have perhaps looked better in the upper left, off the hand.

nice detail, the exposure is good and I like the duotone look of it. not happy with the crop could use some more at the top and bit more to the right.

like the high key idea but think that your use of it may have lost some detail on the subject. focus looks just a bit off to me.
