Thought I'd have a go at jewellery, since it's the current theme:

#1


#2


#3


#4


#5


So which one should I enter for the FA

C + C most welcome - please tell me what you think of these, as it's my first attempt at jewellery, so am keen to get honest feedback

Nice set Charlotte. Perhaps number one appeals to me most. I'm afraid I would wasted a lot of time with that ring and background playing with depth of field. I see abstract macro possibilities in it. I would have forgot the intent of the exercise and not had anything for the theme.

Good stuff Charlotte - 1 and 5 would be my picks. The ring in the 1st has lots of interest.

I'm just not keen on 2 or 4, pendant the seems to get lost in No.4. I think No.3 has potential but is a little busy.

I saw the new theme but then realised I don't have any jewellery! My thinking cap is on

Many thanks for your comments Lew + Ali

#1 is my favourite too.
#2 I thought the colours came out rather well, but it does have a flat 2D effect which maybe spoils it.
#3 Ali, I thought that about this one as well.
#4 I really like the colours in this, and the texture + strong diagonals of the BG material (a scarf) with the gold thread which seemed to match the gold chain (I thought) hence I put the chain running in the same direction as them. What spoils this one for me is the highlights on the pearls (from the flash - this was also my first test run with my flashgun).
#5 The colour of the saphires came out rather flat + the ring is a bit scratched, but I included it in the set 'cos I quite liked the compo.

Well those are my thoughts. Any other ideas how I could've improved these?

#3 for me, followed by #5, due to tighter crop & impact

Your spoilt for choice with all that jewelry Charlotte bit late on it as usual but #1,s looking good.
