Nice coloring on the font with the background. Nice tight DOF too, but maybe move it to the head of the jewel instead of the back.

Focus not right needs some dof

I like the colours and shapes that you have in this image. 8

Great layout, but the image of the ring is blown out and not crisp and clear

I like this, but the light seems yellow. It doesn't do that jewel justice. I always like to see a diamond shine. Other than that, you did a great job.

Your use of focus, composition, cropping and color are excellent. The purple/yellow compliment is very pleasing. The crop, focal plane, and angle of the ring are very suspenseful. I wish the diamond was a bit more in focus. The text is arranged and indented well for the image, but I think the font is too big for the elegant look of the picture. (I'd really like to see what this looks like with a different font treatment.) Beautiful shot. (8)

excellent work with the capture of the stone. a hard shot to pull off and it has been well captured.

Good concept - diamond is a little out of focus, but photo is well done. 7.

Seems as if the focus is off, however very nice

I like the perspective in this shot, but the color seems a bit off, almost as though the shot is too yellow. The purple was a good choice to balance the shot, though.

I like the composition very much, but the color case is unappealing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/29/2005 08:08:26 AM
nice dynamic shot but the focus is just too far out
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/29/2005 02:43:11 AM
boy, I'm happy I didnt get in this challenge.

Diamond looks very yellow, but the composition is awesome. try some spaecial text effects like bevel and emboss, and drop shadow. Good effort.

the rock seems off focus, and the font isn't very effective. but great layout and composition. 6

noisy, colors look off

This is a rough color palette to work with - hard to get it just right without lots of clashing colors, Kudos on succeding here. The diamond is well focused and lit. The gold is very nicely rendered.

Mixed feelings about the text. Aalthough it is well composed, uses the negative space well, is a good choice of font, and seems to be a pretty good color choice; I might like it better if it were a tad smaller or a tad darker.

Nice layout, I would have liked the diamond a little clearer. It is a little out of focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

For this image to really work, the diamond has to POP at the viewer. Because of the way this was lit, that's not the case. The diamond is reflecting gold when it should be just the glitter of crystal.

Nice shot, I would like a deeper DOF.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2005 02:38:01 PM
Nice composition and text placementI think a Deeper DOF would have solved the crispness problem I see. (maybe more contrast too)

Great job.

Nice composition
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 10:04:26 PM
Could have used a little sharper focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 04:12:50 PM
Composition here is great in my opinion.
Font size/color don't quite seem to work well with it though. Image is a bit lacking in the sharpness area, but still a good submission overall.

Not sure of the color cast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 01:51:48 PM
Very well presented, but not sharp enough IMO
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 01:38:36 PM
Love the angle of this image! the lighting gives the whole photo a soft look to it. goo job
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Dang...if only the gem was in sharper focus! This is very nicely set up, lit, cropped, worded, and edited. I really like the color choice of lavender with the gold. With the words, I would only make the letters a bit smaller (less significant) and in a more cursive font. Good luck!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 11:38:56 AM
Wow, now that's bright and colorful! I like the colored text - different from the rest. The ring certainly fills the frame, which is good. The diamond itself is almost TOO colorful - where's that clear sparkle? Overall, good job. Good luck.

Very nice!

Lacks a bit of sharpness, especially on the diamond.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 02:59:14 AM
Stunning...I'll buy one!!

Beautiful photograph, love the colors especially, and the way you cropped the ring really makes it stand-out. Nice!!
