These Are the Winners of the 2021 Platinum DNA Awards

Post by PinkDiamond »

I'll never understand why any photographer would shoot pics of platinum pieces on a grey background that does nothing to show off the jewelry, and in fact muddies up the shot and makes the jewelry look drab and unappealing. I see this so often I have to wonder how they can shoot such lousy pics and put them out for publication. I would be too embarrassed to say I shot such awful photos! :!:

The pics are so bad only the third pic shows anything, and that design is very nice, but it's definitely not for women with long hair because by the end of the day I'd lay odds ten to one that it would be a real chore to dislodge them from all the hair caught in all those leaves and flowers, so as lovely as I think they are, I would still pass on them. :lol:
