Candle looks nice, but it's hard to see the detail in the jewelry.

That's quite expensive for a candle...*just kiddin* ;) Lighting is interesting and the reflection gives this shot something interesting, just wished there'd be a little bit more. Too bad we don't see the jewel that much. Text is too intrusive for my taste and the colour is a bit harsh for the candle's pinkish look. 6

Great concept and photo, my only complaint is the jewelry is too small and isn't the center of attention as it should be in a print ad

Technically very nice. Only here I think the text does not really add to the image... in a different smaller font, without the price, at the top corner might have gone better with the image. But the photograph in itself is excellent.

Very, very, nice. Clean, crisp image. Well lit and composed. Good job. I might have selected a cursive type font perhaps, but that of course is subjective. Good luck.

I know it' snot easy to shoot a candel and I think you did it very well! Personaly, I wish the fire was more elongated vertically. I think it would make the candle more powerful. Nice use of the black and the reflection. The text is big and annoying to me, but I'm difficult when it comes to the use of fonts. I wish we were not limited to 640 pixels because I'd love to see the detail on the jewel. ;-) Nice shot. Well done.

This has great composition,The DOF is great but I'm not sure what you're trying to sell. There needs to more focus and emphasis on the product.

Interesting idea. I like the composition and lighting.

Clever and creative presentation. Nice one.

Yikes!!!!

It may be just me, but that candle and eerie red glow is rather frightening. Otherwise, I think your concept is good, just fails to deliver the right feel. The image is sharp, detailed, and processed cleanly without artifactual distractions. Good luck.

Photographically very well done, with an exceptional control over teh lighting.
Text/font used here doesn't work well in my opinion. A simple, Italic font may have done better, but a good submission regardess.

I really really like this photo Great title to fit the image as well.

I smell smoke. Good shot.

You have the candle wich is drawing attention away from the subject. Good thought but I think the candle needs to go.

Im not sure of the red stones hanging on a red candle? I like your layout.
Text is so so.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great idea, excellent way to get light close to the stone. Very nice

nice photo, but gems are not in focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is an instance where you should've left the text out or done something more understated and elegant. The shot is very nice though and a great concept with sharp detail.

love everything EXCEPT the font color...9

I don't personally care for the red text with this shot, I think maybe white would have worked better, or maybe smaller text.
