Girls can never have enough jewelry!!!by
singsunshineComment by zagman: Thank for submitting your photo to the DPChallenge, Jewelry Advertisement.
Good candid photo of two young ladies. They look happy and willing to pose for this challenge. The twinkle in their eyes is priceless.There is an good amount of jewelry displayed. The frame is filled well with both subjects. I also see that the girls are both wearing "tiara's". Young princess' posing for you.
Technically the choice of sepia tone is well intended. But it does not show off the jewelry. The sepia tone treatment is an artistic choice, when you want to change the moood of a photo. Something that takes your mind and memories back. For jewelry advertisment is generally does not work well. The color cast of sepia tone down plays the jewelry's brilliance.
The photo effort as cute as it is, works away from the topic or challenge of the photo. The jewelry is not the main focal point here.
It's the kids wearing the jewelry. This image could better serve one of the people or family challenges. Also the two elments on the top right corner, the tree's and another object on the lower left corner are distracting to the viewer. Again it takes away from the reason of the challenge.
Your focus and framing are well done. Overall this submission would not normally run as a Jewelry Advertisment in a newspaper or magazine. You can't really tell what jewelry is being sold. The girls are having fun and I am sure that they would enjoy the final photo print out.
Always think about your subject and how best to present it. In this case it should have been the jewelry and anything else is secondary behind your product.
Good luck in your next DPChallenge.
