Greetings from the Critique Club...
Hi Labuda...
The composition, lighting, and exposure here are all excellent. The dark reflective surface does work nicely and it was a good choice for this image. I can't really suggest much for improvement. I do enjoy nice black and white images, but this image may have a higher level of impact in color. If these earrings are gold or silver, a dark colored (even black would work) surface behind them could raise the interest level significantly...
Excellent work...

| Best use of shadows and lighting of all the entries...and border works great here. |

| I like the composition, but most of all I like the reflections in the glass that add even greater depth to the shot. |

| I like your use of the background, the only problem is the double shadow is distracting. |

| Simply beautiful. Great sense for how to compose and crop. Photo gets a 9 from me. Wish you had added some "ad copy." |

| Reminds me more of Brancusi than Dali, but anyway, a nice clean job of lighting. The double shadows are bit bit distracting. |

| Very clear and very well lit. There may be a slight problem with the varying shadows but the composition is very strong. Bumping up. |

| Nice and simple ... clear. Good lighting, and the shadows complement. Good job. |

| Interesting photo of earings from a shape perspective, but doesn't really display them in a "jewelry" sense. |

| My feeling is that this would work better without the shadows. Nice composition though. 6 |

| Beautiful composition. I like the double shadow. If I had to nit pic, I'd like to see it sharper 8 |

This is a sweetly composed shot. In many ways it's very pleasing. I have a couple very specific nits, though.
1. The tonal range seems "off" somehow. I can't but my finger on it, but it's "dull". It may just be the mottled, flat gray BG, not sure. Certainly, there seems to be true black and true white, but overall the luminosity of the image isn't what I'd expect of the setup.
2. The way your lighting is set, the shadow lines exactly parallel the leftmost ear post, and this produces a strange effect in the lower left corner.
Still, a nice, subdued, detailed image and a strong score from me. |

| Ooooh, it looks a bit like handcuffs to me. :-) I don't know, it looks a little too dull for me. |

| love the layout, background would look better if it was much lighter (i think) |

| Great composition and lighting. Too much shadows however. I suspect you placed the earrings on a glass; that's why the double shadow. I don't know if it was intended that way, but I think it detract from the main subject. |

| Nice use of lighting, like the double shadow effect. Black and white was also a great choice. |
|

04/27/2005 09:45:48 PM |
| I can see this as an add. Well done. I really like the way you layed out the two ear rings. |

| This photo has so much potential. the shapes and shadows would allow me incredible creativity in wording my ad. A little more contrast to show the earrings color would be my suggestion. But in all, outstanding. |

| Photographically speaking, this is a nice shot. Advertizement wise, however, there's something unappealing about the posts and earring backs. |
|

| Shadows/reflections are brilliant, really add depth to the photo. A great advert, one of my favourites so far. |

| Wow, very professional! I like the double shadows, they work so well without being too distracting. I'm not sure about the borders... I think one simple white border would be sufficent. I would've liked to see some more highlights, but that's just me. The plain background helps make the whole composition very effective. Kudos on a great set-up! |

| I like this shot..simple, b&w with nice positioning and shadowing of earrings.. |

| Simple and very effective. Love the curves and the composition. I don't know yet how to react to the double shadows... I guess that's good! ;-) good job! |

The high contrast B&W look works well here.
Composition & double shadows add a nice touch. |

| A blend of perfect ELEGANCE and COMPOSITION. There is nothing lacking in this picture. Though I feel that the colored version would have looked better (just my idea). Cant vote (not a member) but 8/10 from my side. Keep up the excellent work |

| Neat. At first I didn't like the double reflections but considering the maker of the earrings, I think they are an added interest. Good job. |
|

| Very elegant and classic. Simple designs but very well pulled off. I gave it a 9 and not sure if I like the hard shadows. |

| Not all shadows are bad - I would like to notice that this one stands out - double shadow precisely placed (the light sources were placed I know) to achieve the very nice total image. 8. |

Nice image sharp and good idea but it looks a bit cold if you know what I mean
Still a good image |

| I like your DOF here, many of the photos have used too shallow a DOF, well done |
|

| very cool earrings. I like their shape and your arrangement and lighting of them. While the shadows are sharp edged and somewhat interesting, I still find them distracting. |
