Cool pic; good content. The lighting makes the pic. Shines just the right amount to create a cozy warm fuzzy feeling. Not sure what the objects are but they go together well. Thank you for sharing. Good job.

I really like what you did with the lighting - going from dark to light, using the different shapes and taking the picture at an angle - not just straight on - and using the darker shadow on the left side. Beautiful!

This is very pretty and a great entry for the contest! The colors are very nice! The items are well place and look great together! The focu si very good! My one suggestion would be to perhaps liughten it up just a little so we can see the flower better! Overall a beautiful job and good luck in the contest! Lori

Just a magnificent composition. The colors and saturation are so well done. Lighting is soft and luminous yet stands in nice contrast to the diamond. A very nice entry. Best of fortune in the contest.

Comment from EDBD1
Sweet an poignant, with good detail. It is, however, the emotive feel that makes this shot so lovely. Your clever use of shading to emphasize the important parts, along with the great cross frame composition, elevates this to more than just a still life, it is a feel, a sort of timeless beauty. Nice use of the lighter spots to make this stand out where it should.

A very competent still life creation, with good colours and composition
I feel the bottom left hand corner might benefit from a little lightening, but not too much
Best of luck with the competition
