Jackdaw? author, I haven't heard that term used in years...LOL...nicely shot, I really like the tones here although I may have cropped a bit more off the right of the photo, not much though...well done

Too much empty space, author. Why don't you crop it a little. It would definitely look better

i would cut off a large part of the bottom to make the focus more on the ob

no, i like the composition.very original

IMO, too much empty space.

The excessive space on the bottom really destroys the overall composition, and detracts from your focal point, the jewelry, which is in beautiful focus. I'd crop it, as others have suggested.

I gave this a lil lower score then what it could get just because it could imho use a lot of cropping to bring the attention to the pin... the lighting on the pin is wonderful and the shine on it is great. well done.

I believe you have to show at least some of the tree as well and not just the leaves alone.

The rules were not particular about that aspect....Thanx for noticing though!!!

Good luck

In order to see this in its true color, you need to view the Hi-res copy! Check it out below the photo. Looks much better.

love it in both views, outstanding

Very nice looking model. Nice, natural smile.

Very nice image - the gel lights haven't done much for her teeth colour though. For your own version, you could selectively fix it easier enough - I don't think if it's allowable for comp entries though.

wonderful

Do they send people up the alley on those bikes to make people jump into their stalls? Nice shot

You are right ! It's what we call "Oriental marketing" ! ^_^
