 Monastiraki is a touristy if not unique area in Athens which houses many jewelry stores that would sell jewelry just like this. I have never attempted anything like this, so hopefully I am on the the right track. My DOF and jewelry store like plush background I think helped a lot. Thanks for your votes and views.

The right hand side, where the links are larger, carries the impact, so those links should be in focus.

Seems to lack depth, half of it is out of focus

bad perspective on the bracelet, but the layout of the ad is good

That's funny! Interesting texture too.

This appears to be shot at quite an angle. the foreground, (assumed right side) is noticeably blurred. Think it would have been better at less of an angle to keep focus sharp.

I like the light background behind the text, but I which the whole necklace were in focus

I think the angle of the braclet is a bit off causing it to be out of focus on the right. Besides that, I like silver jewellery.

I like it, the only thing I'd change is having the clasp in focus...I know that's almost impossible, but that would bring it from a 7 to a 9.

Simple and pretty. I like the curve in the jewelry, it makes for a good composition.

....or good enough for the British Museum! Good approach although I might have been tempted to bring the focus a little closer to include the right hand end of the chain.

i love the perspective on this shot...the color of the backround is soft and provides a nice contrast...good luck

The words seem more important than the bracelet. The bracelet would work much better if it was all in focus, the depth of field is way too low in this picture.

Nice. RIght side of the photo is a bit soft in focus.

Very nicely done! Good composition and lighting. Appealing presentation.

Very nice composition. Excellent colors and textures. i wish the DOF was not so narrow, but that's just my personal taste. nice selection of jewel. font seems to work here, which cannot be said about most of the entries inthis challenge. On of my top 10. Cheers!

Interesting choice of verbiage. Nice background choice for this piece of jewelry. Good composition with positioning of the necklace and text. Not sure about the choice of text for the jewelers name...hard to read. Good luck in the challenge.

kinda wish the whole thing was in focus ... but still very good

Focal point pulls me all over this shot, right & left.
Not sure what to suggest to better it though.
I like the way the text falls in the highlighted area.

I love the tag line and the composition. I'd ask for a little more DOF on the photo and the rule of putting a Company name in it is that it should be obvious who the company is. I don't get that here. I'd request that it were more pronounced. You could make it bigger and change the font. A small stroke would help.

Nice overall - possibly improved by not including the ends of the chain.....

If the right portion had been in better focus, I think this would be excellent!

This makes a nice advertisement. good job.
