Not too happy with a lot of things about this photo, but I really wanted to enter something, since this is one of my favourite types of photography.... and since I liked the shot despite its many flaws. It was taken on a sheet of paper on my bed so as to utilize the light from the window; unfortunately, since it's basic editing, I couldn't spot edit the paper indentations. Oh well.
Editing: Resized, cropped, curves, hue/saturation, Neat Image, sharpening, levels. It's a bit oversharpened, but I thought that suited the theme of the picture.

I would be interested to see the colour original for this shot, reflective objects are always difficult. You've pulled this off well, appart from the annoying highlight on the top of the cap, and I think I'd like to see all of the necklace on the left.
Great shot... only three things...lack of sharp focus on the near chain, cutting off on the left and the sticker on top. Could have been a 10, but I still give this a 9!
fantastic use of white and silver tones!! DOF is great too.. My only objection is the top of the polish bottle.. that bit of shadow is kind of distracting. i can't remember if this challenge was advanced or basic editing, but if you plan to use this picture in the future, I suggest cloning that bit out.
