Just an idea I had...

What a nice idea. Love it.

I like the cobncept and idea of this picture, but I don't think it is as powerful as it could be. The color of this picture are somehow distracting from the rhythm of hte gems. It is almost too predicatable in it's diagonal line.

Great idea and layout, however overall is a bit to dark for my liking.

A little brighter and without the colour...

I think it is fine as is. Color, brightness, backgrounds are all of personal taste. Rated as a photograph on it's own merit.

Cheers,

Dave

Now that I look at the two of them on the same page I can honestly say that the colour version is closer to what I had in mind from the beginning. The idea was to present an almost entirely low-key image with the rich gold colour and tone. The glass does what it was meant to in the colour version...provides some bright points to create some extra interest. It doesn't do the same thing in BW. I have more that I will post soon. R.

Excellent

So original ! Very nice !

Another excellent photo. I admire your lighting skill.

Alex, the setup is just a softbox dangling about 5 ft above her...not all that much skill involved! But thanks, anyway.

A very unique presentation!

So well done Robert, perfect execution. Nothing harder than color low key.
