Technically very well done, fine idea which suits the challenge and I like how the title supports the imge but isn´t trying to force some meening into it. Very good image.

this photograph looks too much artifiicial...should have placed only a few pearls to make it look realistic

If only it were real...

My second 10,what I like more: color combination and if I have to say a but, the the shadow: maybe a little too much

Interesting composition...

I liked this shot quite a bit - the textures of the shells are nice, I like the placement of the one to the right of the frame. The pearls are lit well and I like the red background.

a little minus for the strong shadow

Too contrived for my tastes.

Oh, my. And this oyster strung them for you too! An amusing take on the Challenge. Good one.

Very nice picture. It illustrates serendipity well, you might expect to find one pearl but not a whole necklace. The color of the background and angle of the shot really work well with this subject.

Great concept! Set up well so the strand of pearls seems more like individual pearls--a mouthful of pearly whites, as it may be. I don't care for your choice of background, perhaps something less sterile. Also, a secondary light source might take some of the harshness out of the shadows--it just feels a bit too unnatural overall.

cute, better still with loose pearls and on something other than poster board

Cool idea!

Nice image, my only quarel is that I can see that its a necklace, it would have been great if I didnt, because I swear that thing is smiling at me. ;)

Nice shot- great lighting.

Nice idea, creative. The focus is good.
I think the light is strong and you need a hair more contrast. The shadow on the left of the pearls is unfortunate.
A composition change would of helped.
Nice entry, good luck in the challenge. 7
