Not enough contrast between the flower and the jewelry. It gets lost there.

Colorful and cheery layout.
The jewelery is getting a little lost in the middle of the flower in my opinion. At 493x375pixels, a tighter crop could have been achieved or better details presented.
We are allowed 640 pixels on the longest side, and up to 150K. Using as much of the 150K as possible will only help to not compress the image. If you need help in understanding or making these happen, please don't hesitate to PM me and I can give you some pointers. (5)

Nice details the colors of the pendant are drowned out a bit by the flower, a white or darker pink would have worked better.

Colors are nice and I like the concept, but you need better focus on the jewelry...it seems blurry.

IMO, the colors of the jewelry have made this shot stand out. Also, it looks like some of the main areas of focus are not in focus. Good jog.

I generally like the photo, but I think it would be more effective with tweaking the background. The flash of green at the bottom left is a distraction, as well as the splash of green above that. The flower color perhaps isn't the best considering the purple hue of the jewelry. Perhaps a color that would present more contrast factor to the jewelry should be used. I do like the DOF and the idea here, so will do a 6.

I guess there has to be a bug macro in every challenge : )
Good choice of presentation for this piece.

nice idea, but the busy-ness of the petals, especiallywhere in focus on the left , pulled my attention away from the jewelry

Nice colours! Wish they could've been a little more bright. The pic shouts for Contrast IMO, and the jewel is unfortunatly, not well focused. Perharps due to lighting? NIce non the less. 6

I like the colores here but have issues with the contrast I.E. The piece needs to stand out more so I know what you're selling.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the idea, though I think I would have taken the pendant off the chain. The color is a little overpowering when compared to the jewelry.

I love the use of the flower here, but the bug jewelry in the middle is a bit out of focus. The focal plain appears to be right in font of it instead of on it.

If only i coud vote This was my winner
a 10 should be it

It's a neat concept but the piece seems as little lost in the flower. A different flower...perhaps darker or richer in color may have been a better choice

Nice shot, I like it. I think the chain does not add to the image.
