The Perfect Settingby

First of all, beautiful rings.
There are 2 things that stand out to me right away in this shot and that is the inside of the top ring, and the fact that the stone is almost lost in the second ring.
See how the stone goes right along the inside of the bottom ring and almost follows the curve of the ring right around to the other side of the stone? To me, the stone kind of gets lost there. I'd like to see it moved slightly to prevent that.
The white background is reflecting on the inside of the top ring and kind of absorbs the background in the reflection. Wish there were some way to create a defined edge on the inside top ring.
Other than that, let me just say wow.
Focus and clarity are awesome.
The angle and framing/cropping are wonderful. Nice space for the words. It's simple and effective. I don't find the words too big at all. They are eye catching, as are the rings.
Lighting is really good. Looking closer, I do see a bit of a blue reflection and 2 very tiny orangish reflections, one in each ring near the front. More specifically, in the upper left prong that holds the stone in place on the top ring. Those could be fixed with a little spot editing.
Overall very nice shot which deserved it's high placing in the challenge. Congrats.
