Gotta be one of the top ten. Great idea and layout.

Beautiful layout, very effective ad overall. I do think it would be improved if the dof placed all of the wood in sharp focus. 8

Good idea, lighting and composition. Only minor change I might make would be to put a capital/larger "F" at the beginning of" Forest" to balance the initial "S."

I love the photo. I REALLY want this cross. I don't think I've seen one like it before.

I like the textures in this peice. Text is in the right location to be easily read. I gave it a 7. Only thing I do not understand and maybe it is just me. But the cord or chain does not seem to go through the loop.

I like the way you have composed the image with a diagonal split..it adds to the overall impact as well as accomodating the text very neatly.
Nicely done.

A nice idea, well composed.

Love this. A tad shiny on the silver cross from lighting, but not bad. Negative space works well with orange, and complements the shadows.

fantastic composition

When I first saw the gem, it looked like a ford symbol and I read "Spirit Of The Ford"

But then again I'm on drugs.

No I'm not.

photo composition and placement of the text is very good

Nice composition. One of my favorites in this challenge. Clean simple lines. If the light was slightly higher it would have lightened up the top of the just slightly.

Very nice! I like the composition and the lighting is excellent!

I love the comp, however, I'm not sure this portrays that it is an ad for jewelery.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting piece of jewely. I've seen similar objects in the past. Composition is interesting, reminds me of those insect shots we see. Unfortunatly, the lighting is a bit off and doesn't give enought credits to the object. I can't decide if there is a chain or something holding the neckless either. The wood texture is cool and is the strong point of the lighting, but doesn't complement the jewel too much, unfortunatly. text is nice and simple, but i can't seem to see it as very appealing for some reason. keep at it! 6

Pretty shooting. You did the light very well and I like the mix of wood and stone. Really done well. Good luck.

Nice text, nice choice of background (wood) and most importantly, good job of photographing the jewelry piece. I like the lighting and the few hotspots. Those hotspots would have been really neat with a star filter. ;^)

Great use of wood. Not a fan of the font, font size and text. But overall a well executed shot.
