The blue text is really hard to read against the orange background. Otherwise, I really like this shot.

Beautifully done...exaggerated reds really set off the main image of the diamond.

I know it's a flower, but when I first looked at it, it looked like one of those medical endoscope photos. Not really something I would want associated with jewelry.

Great colors!

Interesting. The wording is lost with the blue and size. Appears like the DOF, could have been moved a tad closer to the jewel itself instead of the band. Or that could just be my eyes having a problem focusing on the jewel.

Unusually bright in a way, and is certainly one to pop off the page.
The Red/Orange is bolder than it really should be for an advertisement. The chice of the blue text to match the color of the stone would normally be good, but is very difficult to read against that color background. (5)

The stone looks great. I think I'd have just used black for the type, I find this combination harder to read.

beautiful piece of jewelry that isn't being presented well in this photo. The water drops really detract from the image. The blurry foreground makes it hard to focus on the subject the necklace. The item is also not positioned straight and symetrically which also detracts from the "ad" image

I really like this ... except for the blue text. It's hard on the eyes against the orange flower. Otherwise, comp is good, and the jewels are clear and shining. And the water adds a nice touch.

The font is difficult to read and almost looks pycodelic. Black might have been better. the clarity on the jewelery could have been a bit better 5

Love the colors, but it is a bit grainy and a bit out of focus.

Interesting compositiong. The color of the flower is a bit overpowering and I'd love to see stronger focus on the jewels.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the shot, but the colors seem to saturated and compete with one another. The text color definitely is a bit distracting. 6

This is creative. Nice way to get the color reflection on the jewelry. Only nitpick I have is the text color...subjective, yes I know - but I think black would have worked better. The blue gets lost a bit in my opinion. Overall, nice work. Good luck.

Water droplet makes it too "cliche" and it compete with the sparkles of the stones. Color of the flower is reflecting too much in the neckless. Neckless looks orange instead of white gold.

I like what you're trying to do here. the comp is great and the photo is very crisp. However, I'm not sure what's being sold. The jewelry gets lost in the rich color of the flower. Font color should be revisited. Perhaps larger and a little looser.

It's a shame the point of focus is in the top of the frame, leaving the jewle a little soft.

Very strong colours detract from the jewelry.

way too much noise in the image.

Really like how the gem catches the light here, and is offset by the flower and the water is a nice touch.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

jewel is nice. the flower too bright. I am not sure I like the combination maybe a softer colour would work better as a background

The Orange set off the blue in the stone, Nice Lighting 9

The colors in this image are beautiful!. Stunning!. Great image!

Very interesting composition. On the other hand, i find the colours way too strong, especially the orange/red of the flower, as it takes too much away from the jewel(Blue). Also the pic seems to be suffering from a little soft focusing. More sharpness would've been a good idea. The Text is almost non existant and hard to read. Writen on a black frame would've helped a lot. 6

Beautiful. I don't think it needed to be in a flower for this shot to work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice concept. The lines between the flower and product go good together. I think there is a problem in the clarity of the flower. To me it looks a bit oversaturated and the lighting is flat. This might have been improved with a little backlighting. The color of the text doesn't seem to complement the picture.

good choice of contrasting colors but IMO font color should have been a bit darker blue or a different color all together..my eyes have a hard time adjusting and concentrating on the font...still a great pic tho...if i could vote i would give u a 7
