Good idea, well executed, I would have preferred better manicured hand on a close-up detailed shot.

This composition somehow gives me the feeling of putting the ring on, not taking it off.

This kind of concentration on details really requires hyper-careful preparation: somehow, the tiniest things stand out.

right on. i dig it. the area around the child's head feels a bit cluttered (i'd like some negative space there to let my eye in more comfortably). also, the character feels a bit distant (sometimes this is a good thing, but in this case it looks like you just should have walked closer to take the picture or zoomed more)

Your title wasn't even necessary. . . the image conveys the idea beautifully. My first thought when seeing this was, "my secret bridge (garden)!" Well done and the very, very best of luck. I hope it does well but it is up against some more traditional shots. One of my favorites. P. S. The only thing missing is a reed of grass in the young man's mouth!!!

Very nice capture and mood. I like the way you toned down the background to isolate the boy on the bridge. A good example of keeping the background from being distracting. Good job 7

It is hard to tell if it is coming off or with the white back gorund going on

It's hard to tell here whether the ring is being removed, or replaced.

There is a lot of pixelation on the lower left corner of the picture and around the thumb, which is slightly distractly. Good interpretation of the challenge.
