Crafty! Multiple reflections! However, since the focus on the chain and its reflection in the foreground is not clear, I would have left the chain out as I find it distracting. 7 for accomplishing a clear reflection on the watch face as well as on the surface the objects are resting on (not a mirror, I hope?).

I like very much and would have been a 10 from me if not for top left corner - so a nine and very nice

I think I would have liked this photo better if you had left out the chain and possibly movedin a little closer to the ring and watch. Good otherwise.

i'm impressed with the double reflection from the watch and ring. the chain in the foreground really stands out and almost gives this picture a 3d look. good job and good luck.

nice but looks a bit put-together

THEY'RE ASKIN' FOR THE REFLECTION , NOT FOR A MAGAZINE AD EFFECT. u focused too much on the subjects, instead of the reflections!

This is good. The only negative I can see is the brown pole or leg in the top left is a bit distracting.

a lot of reflection sin this picture I count like 10 so goo effort .. just a little setupo boring for my taste

Knowing personally how hard this shot is makes me vote it up a notch. 9 nards656

I like the reflections in the watch itself although I've no idea what is creating those bright spots!
10/01/2002 02:12:00 PM
The chain is too blurry, and the background is distracting.
10/01/2002 12:09:00 PM
Composition could have been better. Chain is across the reflection. Red item is disturbing.
10/01/2002 01:39:00 AM
I like the different "levels" of reflections. My only suggestion would be to play with angles so that you wouldn't have the distracting background (is this on top of a piano?). karmat

One of my favorites this week. Actually a double-reflection!! I love the color of the watch and you composition and lighting. Great job! DPz

Meets the challenge just fine. The chain being oof doesn't really add anything good to the image. I think it would be better without it. Good luck in the challenge! Grayce aka Gracious

I really like the idea, I would have done something different on the background.

For me, this would have been superb but for a small – but hugely invasive – point; the diagonal wooden strut. This just drags the eye away from what is a really good idea. The shot itself, if you mask out the wooden bit, is first class; great colour, superb composition and terrific use of DOF. The other effect of the diagonal in this shot, is to remove the mood balance - rather like playing loud rock music at a chess club… Sorry to be so negative, but it's a really good shot that could have been superb… (7)

Nice job, I like the ring.
09/30/2002 09:48:00 AM
Maybe nicer if just the watch had been used (beautiful colours!)
09/30/2002 06:45:00 AM
Not crazy for the red/gold in the upper left. However most of the composition is just super. The blue is sure nice and so is the reflection. This is nice. Score 7 Justine

I see at least two different reflections here. Unfortunately, one seems to be a mirror, which is what the subjects are lying on. And this seems to be the majority reflector here. It looks like a mirror used in jewelry displays. Therefore, I have to conclude that this does not meet the challenge as described.

Nicely done. I would have liked to see a less busy background, maybe just the watch and ring with a solid background.
