Fantastic image, it was my highest rated photo in the challenge. Nice job on the win, especially with using (I presume) advanced editing in an expert challenge.

Not as many 1's and 2's as I thought, lots of 3's and 4's though.

Originally posted by Lydia: I want the focus to be sharper on her face.. and it seems blurred... maybe motion? Seems like the end of the log in the water is sharp and even the rock behind her. Also, it looks uncomfortable to sit on that rock... nekkid! LOL!

Yes, it is motion. It is a 10 second exposure, so I was pretty impressed that she did as well as she did.

I also had two 5s exposures, one was blurrier and the other was very sharp. Unfortunately, another photog walked in front of my camera during the exposure (argghhh) and by that time, the model was done with trying to hold those poses on that rock (not really a rock, but the remnants of a foundation). It was about 12 Celsius on this very rainy morning, she was quite the trooper.

Nicely done, but I would have preferred more DOF on the wedding bands and the dragonfly to match the items at the top.

Nicely done. I love the lighting on the cat, but I would like to see the jewelry much brighter. It has too much competition for attention with the eyes.

Beautiful concept and well executed. My only complaint would be that the pearls are a little burned out on the shoulder, but overall, I like the highlighting of the jewelry.

Really nice job, but I find the shadows distracting. I think more even lighting and an overall brighter image would make the jewelry really pop on that white background.
