The textures, soft lighting, focus, background and details are all Fantabulous here.
I like your ability to always make everything look so elegant and pretty.
This is lovely and a fine entry for this contest.
Good Luck :)

I really love this piece and the way you made it really perk up is pretty smart. I love the background because it makes this really stand out. It looks like to me the focus is really done well. Keep up the great work and good luck in the contest. JackJr.

Beauty in metal!
Composed, focused, well framed. The background color enhances, adds texture. A creative well thought out capture.

A stunning picture of this intricate Silver & Gold Filigree Brooch with your beautiful scarf in the background & the flash light dancing on the delicate art work of your brooch. Artistic composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

Wow this pic really pops! Love the colors. Good contrast. Could use a bit more gold. Nice overall. The background is somewhat bland. The shadow is OK though. Keep going!

You pointed the flashlight at the right place. How beautiful. Your creative eye brought this out and your flowers bloomed.
I love black background because it makes the subjects break through.
The staging of the flowers is truly creative. Thank you for a job well done.

Not being an expert on fake flowers I am guessing you used an item of jewellery to create this image? If so then this might be a macro shot? Anyway on to definites now! Great composition and your scarf provides a good background. Your use of a torch worked out very well in my view. The final image is both charming and fascinating. Congratulations, hope you do well in the contest!!
