I love your sentiments on this one and can relate.

Kind of my way of thinking the past year here!

A tad dark for my tastes.

Pleasant shot to look at, with natural colors.
Background is complimentary with a natural feel and the lighting on the jewelry brought out it's colors. Detail level is good as is composition.
The title may be a bit too "cute" for advertising. (6)

Good choice of background though the texture is a little distracting from the jewelry. Good photo but not as good advertisement.

Very appealing rendering of the jewelry itself, crisp and luminous, lacking a bit in catchlights on the facets, but the BG is REALLY working against you here, it's SO dreary. Mutes foliage, for example, might have been more inspiring. I accept that your idea may have been to show beauty arising out of dreck, but it isn't working for me at that level.

Another wonderful shot. Wonderful environment surrounding the frog. Good luck 10

I like the jewel frog on the bark. Good lighting, but if only the jewels were shining! :)

Great lighting and detail on the subject. The background is a little overwhelming, but I do not think that would have been the case with text added to fill some of the space. Great work. 9.

Great idea and nice composition. It seems that the highlights on the gold area bit harsh. Still, this is quite magazine ad-esque.

the sat on the frog is great, I might have cropped it a bit tighter but it is probably personal preference. 9

this for me is one of the best entries I have seen so far. the jewelry is clear, in focus and in a setting that is appropriate to the piece of jewelry, with enough texture to not be bland and is at the same time interesting without drawing attention from the piece.

good contrast

Would probably of cropped bottom quarter off what is a nice photo. 8

great shot. the light is lovely

Wow! very nice jewel you got here. I'm late in the votes but i'm sure you're scoring pretty high on this one. Composition is very nice. I feel a little unconfortable about the DOF tho. Since the item is so close to the wood, it feels wierd that its so out of focus. Also what i feel a bit wierd about is the change in ligthing towards the bottom, wish there'd be a little more light overall. 8

Wonderful composition and light. Great shot!

I like the choice of colors for this image. The jewelry item jumps out nicely. Very crisp, clean image. I know it wasn't required to have text, but I think in this case the voters may drop your score a little because there isn't any text and the room for it is there. JMO. Best of luck to you.

Good lighting control here, no blown highligths. Likes the contrast of the jewel on the dark background.

Excellent clarity, I reallly like the "luminous" jewelry against the interesting textured background, very nice composition.

the jewelry is nice, i can't tell what the background is so it kind of has me confused but nice photo overall.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I believe this broach may have been presented better sitting on something else. It may be the color I do not care for. The sharpness is real good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Composition: Excelletn!!
Lighting: very good! woud like to see more of the bevels on the top, but realize how difficult that is

Lettering: None, but you left room for any kind of advertising wording

Very nice image. Great colours. background is very jewllery shop. might have liked a fraction more light on the jewels to make them sparkle, but v nice.

Nice work on keeping the facets sharp, but the glow on the gold steals from the photo.
