Good presentation and lighting to accomodate message. One may question font size but otherwise good job. Bumping up.

This is really nice. I like the contrast of the subject compared to the background. Nice Job.

A good shot here. Lighting and focus are great. I like the b/w conversion, very well done. There is very nice detail and texture to the flower. I think the size of it is good, definitely fits the challenge IMO. Compositionally, I'm not crazy about how the flower is framed so tight into the corner, I'm wondering if it were out just a bit, it might be a much stronger presentation?

Interesting way to show the ring. Lighting is interesting, especially the way it splits the picture in half. Text is unfortunatly way too much to read and takes too much space, taking lots away from the jewel itself. Not sure on the texturized background tho, kind of takes away from the lustrate and shinny ring. 6

A little over-sharpened, but nice layout. 7

The flower is too close to the borders for my tastes. It need a little room to breathe. It would be alright where it is if the white border line wasn't there. Otherwise, very nice. Good lighting. Good for the challenge.

Borders generally don't do much for me .. but as I look at this again, it dawns on me that without the border, I wouldn't like it so much. Oh, I'd still like it -- the exposure is technically very nicely done and the details nicely evident despite the small size. What strikes me is that the border -- particularly the pale line that separates the ground from the border proper -- supports and holds the subject neatly within the frame. Deliberate or accidental ... it works and complements the subject extremely well. An already fine image is elevated by its inclusion and that's a great touch!

Not sure whats not quite right, maybe to much sharpening, the ring needs a bit more dof
