 Taken butt-early before work (such a shame that the light before anyone should be awake is so interesting). Took the necklace off my neck, plopped it (artistically) in my breakfast, grabbed some aqua paper, and opened the blinds. I'd like the charm to stand out a bit more from the cereal, but holding the box and the camera at the same time proved to be challenge enough!

This is too staged to work as a serendipitous moment. It doesn't work on its own as a good compositon.Perhaps if the cereal box was more prominent and if the cereal was spilling out with the necklace. As it is, it looks like someone has just dumped a necklace out of a rolled up magazine onto a bowl of cereal.

Very good challenge concept but your lighting is too harsh creating hot spots and shadows. Also, the box at the top is out of focus. It would have had more impact for me if you'd have had a few corn flakes falling out of the box at the moment of exposure.

I don't understand the shadow in the background. Also the cyan splotches on the edge of the bowl are distracting as well. Nice focus and lighting. I like how it shows it coming out of the container.

Bit grainy and unsharp. Colortones and saturation also a bit strange. Dont know about the creativity so to be honest I dont find this a very interesting image.
