It's a pretty necklace and mostly well done. I agree with the masses that the focus in the lower section seems to be the weakest part of this shot. Difficult subject (justine is ever so correct!) and added difficulty for the steep angle (good for interest, bad for focus). I gave this an 8. Rob
Fits The Challenge-Yes
Composition-Real nice set up. The crop is just a bit tight on the left side.
Background-Super
My Opinion-I love turquoise jewelry and wear it often. Your squash blossom is beautiful. Photographing jewelry is an art _all_ by it's self. Very difficult and you did well here. I do think the dof is too shallow for this particular shot. I'm sure that is what's causing the focus to look soft. Also I wondered why you used an ISO of 200. I really don't know your camera so maybe there is a reason. Also I don't know what >ND8< wb is? All in all I enjoyed the shot. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful squash blossom necklace! I love the background and the setup you have here. Focus seems a bit soft, in my opinion (especially at the bottom of the frame).
