| I really like the idea here, its very original and crisp.(Incredible photo!) Presentation of the rings is from a great angle. But, the text needs different palcement and a different font. Maybe a larger size too. But this is one of the best in the comp! (my Opinion with the usual disclaimers) |

Overall, good tag line, very original. |

| Very professional lighting! Great photography. The processing left a slight halo around the kiss and rings which is slightly distracting, which considering this is supposed to be an ad, may be more of a factor than in other challenges. This is clearly one of the stronger entries though. 8 |

| nice image - great focus. IMO, a bit more light on the diamonds would have helped, and perhaps given them the bit of sparkle they lack, and there is some slight haloing around some the edges - eg the very tip of the the kiss and the bottom left and mid right of the kiss as well. Otherwise, great job. - 8 |
