		| | I have no idea what I'm doing! But I like it, so here goes... I love your sentiments on this one and can relate.
 
 Kind of my way of thinking the past year here!

		| | 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. |

		| | 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. |

		| | 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 |

		| | 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. |

		| | 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. |

		| | Composition: Excelletn!! Lighting:  very good!   woud like to see more of the bevels on the top, but realize how difficult that is
 Color: excellent!
 Clarity: Good!
 Lettering: None, but you left room for any kind of advertising wording
