Diamond Images Opinion & Feedback

[Working Hard]

I recently completed a "photoshoot" at home using my Canon Powershot camera. The setup was pretty straightforward - Mini tripod and natural daylighting. I thought it would be great to gather some feedback on what the pros think.

Here is the link to the other shots in the set Loose Diamond Photography.

Feel free to criticize or comment on the images as I am looking for feedback to improve my next photoshoot.

You have to make the dimonds pop, i thik they have to shine rather than to be dark. IMHO

Full disclosure... I dont know what I'm talking about.

The first stone seems to lack a clarity and sharpness that the second stone has. I can't help but think that is due to the amount of light allowed to pass through the back of the stone. My guess is that a certain amount of light needs to come from behind in order to showcase the cut of the stone to its fullest potential.

I could be wrong... I often am.
