Interesting subject. There is a bit too much going on in the foreground for my liking though. Also lacking sharpness & seems to be tilted.

Sorry but this comes across far too much like a rushed snapshot. I am sure this building is fascinating, and there are other angles from which you could have taken your photo which would have made it more of a feature. As it is the eye is drawn to the mass of foliage in the foreground which is very distracting.

It looks out of focus to me, but in this case I think it helps give a fairy-tail/dream-like quality to the image.

so no real creative image concept to interest or speak to me, except the intended pun in the title. Try using desk lamps rather than the onboard flash to light this "product shot" style image, the lighting will really help give the shot some impact if you blow out the background and light the subject from the sides. Centre placement also doesnt do this image any favours, nor does the fact that the "Jewels" arent really given as much pride of place that the title suggests.


Just trying to help you with my thoughts on why i scored this low.

Harsh flash here. I'm afraid that hurts this a lot. A perspective view may have helped a bit as well.

Cute little doll. For me, the lighting is too harsh. I do like your border and how you pulled the colors from the clown's outfit.

I really am not a big fan of the border. The shot's a little blasted. Clever idea, though.
