Her fingers should not be cropped. It looks odd and disturbing.

Comment by Dr.Confuser:
The main issue I have with this is the central placement of the subject. There are tutorials on the "rule of thirds" which would help you with the composition I think. Clearly this is a beautiful ring and it sure sparkles. But the sparkles are too hot. They wash out some of the detail. Subtle flashes of sparkle would be more effective. It looks like this was shot with the camera's flash. The dead on lighting hurts the effectiveless of the image. If your camera will allow, try natural light next time or a few softer lights rather than the camera's flash. Good luck.

Comment by Hye5:
Nice concept, but the reflection and lack of detail in the ring really hurt this image as it is supposed to be the main focus of this image.

Reflected light is a problem. Distracts from subject.

Comment by willem:
To me this image does not show the jewelry in a way that makes it attractive to me, does not give justice to its beauty. Strange color, a blown out area and some lens flare.

Sorry I really don't like this, maybe its the cropping. Maybe if the whole hand was in or a tighter crop on the ring not sure, the glare off the ring also takes out a lot of detail. Ohh looking again I get the feeling of a foot with really long toes, must be the angle of her wrist!

I think this would be more successful if you moved the camera a little higher so you could see more of the cigarette.

I'm not sure what this image is. An ashtray, I'm guessing, but too much is blurry. What's the white thing, a cigarette? Sorry, I just can't make out everything in the image.
