Very nice...the gold glow of one of gthe stones was a nice extra.

The specks are a bit distracting but congratulations on the great composition and lovely display of gems. Bumping up.

The clarity of the marcasite Jewelry is just perfect. Beautiful light and I love the warmth of the metal. Very nice.

Those are nice pieces; good exposure and detail for a relatively long (non-macro) shot.

i think it would look better if you tried to make the background all black. The white specs are distracting

I like this. Simple, elegant, nice. Good work!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very elegant. Crisp. The only minor things I would change would be to not show the backs of the earings. If this is some sort of cloth backing, I would put the earings through it to hide the backs. Also, there are a few turned links in the chain. Otherwise pretty much perfect. 9.

definitely worthy of an ad

Lovely surprise lighting off the golds in this piece, giving depth to an otherwise flat layout. Classy.

I like the composition and ther lighting is great. There is just something unappealing about seeing the posts and backs of the earrings in an ad.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice. I like the fact that everything is in the dof. many of these jewel shots the dof is very small and you can not see half of the jewels Very well executed. the light is good 10

Picture is good overall, but nothing really attract me. Seems like jewels were just place there.

I think your background shows through more than you intended. 7

Composed welll as a three piece arrangement. Like the light reflecting off of a stone on the top right piece. Background looks dirty...that's a shame because otherwise this is a very nice job. Good luck.

I like the composition of this shot. Lighting seems a little flat, the gems don't sparkle. Very good concept.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/27/2005 09:30:42 PM
suitable for publication. Well done.

i dont really like how you arranged the objects. some overlap created a central focal point would have been better imo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Pretty nice image in quality and simplicity.
Lighting worked well and the text is complimentary vs. overdone.
Title of the shot (though not considered in my vote) is kind of at odds here, and may have been a litttle better had it been "Old Fashioned Collection" only. (8)

Nice, nice presentation, great comp and I like the texture of the background. Text is well defined and stands out. great comp. This ad is what I imagine when I think of Jewelry ads. Nice job! If I had to be picky, I'd ask for more contrast or saturation to get rid of the lint (only a slight distraction)
04/26/2005 12:42:22 PM
Very striking. Great job putting it on the black background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2005 05:33:58 AM
good close up.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great arrangement. Not sure the lettering does much for this shot but it doesn't distract, either. Good lighting too.

I recommend either shooting against a more uniformly black background, or adjusting the background in post processing to remove the texture and/or flecks of lint. 7

lovely

LOTS of little specks are distracting...but everything else great! 7

Good shot, if I were to correct something here, it would be the noisy backdrop the jewelry sits on. Though I am voting from a laptop where it might be more prevelant.
