This is absolutely gorgeous! And it was before I even noticed the sky reflected in the heart-shaped bead. I like how the necklace is made of stark-onyx stones, polished and glassy and smooth. Also, there's how the white plain shells contrast with the necklace's overall shine. Best of all, there's the aforementioned image of the sky reflected so meticulously in the primary bead, almost like it's symbolic of how even dark-looking hearts can have hope and beauty inside them. I believe it was good timing on your part, capturing this picture just when the sun is carefully behind the clouds so the glare wasn't capture in the reflection. Nice job!

Awe thank you for your wonderful interpretation of it! Especially the part about dark hearts having hope and beauty inside of them - I never saw this piece that way myself! A lot of this stuff was by accident but thank you very much! My main concern was the new watermark I put in - Is it intrusive? Does it impact the piece in a bad way?

Your watermark is not intrusive, in fact, your masterpiece outshines your watermark!

That's good to know. Cheers!

The watermark works well with the photograph, in that you have framed the words either side of the main subject/focus there, which is good. At the same time, I do feel that the watermark's opacity could be lessened a bit as it is a bit too vivid against the photograph.
The composition here is quite interesting with the way the main subject is off-centre. I do like that about the piece, but I do feel that it could be better supported with a shallower depth of field. For example, looking at your EXIF data, instead of F/5.6, it could be F/4.0 or even lower, such as F/2.8.
I like how the main subject reflects the sky, while the shells and stones reflect the sea. Having said that, perhaps there could be greater focus on the main subject by moving closer to it so that it takes up more space regarding the overall composition. If the main subject was 'magnified' against the backdrop, that would work quite well, I think.
Lovely piece, nevertheless!

Thank you for your thoughts! I might reduce the watermark a tad
Heh heh you know the shells reflecting the sea and the heart reflecting the sky are quite coincidental! Well, the sky and the heart was intentional but I never thought of using the shells to purposely reflect the sea - I just thought they'd make a nice backdrop against the necklace

That wouldn't be a bad idea!
It's pretty cool it was coincidental! Sometimes, the best photographs are, and sometimes, we only find out these awesome results when we have already taken the shot!
Sounds awesome.

A lot of my good shots are flukes

You and me both! Luck is in the air a lot of the time! I don't know how great a photo actually is until I'm post-processing it.

Yeah it's a bit difficult to tell on the tiny screen of a camera or a phone.

Very true! It can look totally different on the computer, but different isn't necessarily bad!

Hello! I'm here on the behalf of
Well, I did not notice it at first, but when I saw the sky reflected in the heart bead, I found the title perfectly matching. You have a great idea and this shoot is very very good (my eyes are happy looking at it). I really like the coloristic choice, all the elements are in the hues of light blu and grey. And I also appreciate a lot that the only reflective surface is the heart, so that the eyes are attracted to that point. The only thing I would like to point out is that maybe the focus is too blurry, it becomes difficult to distinguish the elements. I can understand this is a choice, but maybe the amount was a little bit too drastic.
Have a nice day!
