Great looking model but the jewelry should be the main focus. This looks more like an Ad for eyeglasses. If the pieces were in focus this image could have worked for me.
Very nice composition. The look is original and the DOF is nice as well. I'm not sure why you choose not to put the jewels in focus, but it does well in showing the 'size', but not the 'quality' of th eproduct. Model is interesting and very glamourous. One thing i don't like is the right eye with the glasses effect (kind of buggy). Other then that, nice work, just wished i'd see the jewels better. 8
Quite the interesting photo. The jewlery (though not in focus) does seem to be very prevelent (as other things :P ) Love the clarity on the face and choice of crop. I think showing slightly more of the cell phone would have been good so to determine at a glance that is what she was doing. Great model! Bumping up
Very stylish! Your model is great.
My overall impression is that this shot shows off the sunglasses more than the jewelry. I wish the jewelry had been in focus! If this was an ad for the shades I would score it much higher...
I treat this more as an artistic rendition and as such it gets good mark. On the advertising side the question would be wether to favor the jewelry or the model or both. As a lead image to an article in a Glamor magazine the image works and I am bumping it with this in mind.
I would like this photo for an ad for sunglasses. Perhaps I'm boring, but I like the subject to be in focus, especially if you're trying to sell me something.
Pretty good, nice lighting and pose and I like this. The main problem though for me is that the jewels are out of the DOF so this doesn´t make me even one bit curious about the jewels, but on the other hand it makes me want to buy the sunglasses (for my wife of course). Also I am torn on the green cast in the image, on one hand I like it but on the other it doesn´t really flatter the model (wich is stunning by the way, don´t tell my wife I said so) Ended up giving it a 6.
it is certainly is a beatifully done photograph, but I have been wondering if it's the shades or the jewellery that's been advertised here. My opinion is that it could be either, not that it is a problem, but just a thought.
Very glamorous shot. I like the moody torquoise lighting. I think you should have increased the DOF to allow for better focus of what this challenge is about: the jewelry.
Nice photo but for this challenge, maybe you want to draw attention to the jewellery. Would it be better if it (they), rather than the girl, was (were) in focus?
With all those expensive looking diamonds hanging around, it seems to me a bit odd that the sunglasses are the featured item. Nary a diamond on them either. :) Nice picture otherwise.
I think maybe the sunglasses seem to be the focal point/subject of this picture because they are one of the few things with nice sharp clarity...the jewels are just something in the background...a really nice image though
Gutsy move - incorporating a person profile and jewelry in one. In this case the person wins, the jewelry seems to be a minor subject. If anything, this looks like a sunglasses advertisement. Well done for that - but for jewelry it's not quite right. Nice photo however...
Is the girl the focus, the eyeglasses or the jewelry? If the jewelry wouled have liked to see it sharper or stand out more. If its the glasses, then awesome, if its the girl, then that is not the focus of the challenge. Overall, a 6
One of my favs this month. I love the fact that the jewels are not in focus. LOL, I'm sure you'll get some negative comments about that. Great glasses. Nice model. Nice lighting. Maybe too greenish... Nice shot!
