I love the lines, the form of this ring. And I love its color. Perfect lighting, DOF. The backgound definitely adds interest, espscially in the reflections.

The text adds weight and balance to the photo where it needs them, yet somehow it doesn't quite work for me. (Thinking out loud: While the serif font seems appropriate for a ring that appears to have a little age, I think its flowing lines suggest either sanserif or something a little cursive, possibly purple, and perhaps bunched up more on the left side. But I know nothing of these things.)

I like the heavy and light contrast between the rock and the paper. I'd like to know how you balance the scissors without having them fall. The scissors seemed to dark to me.

This is great. I like the processing a lot except for the purpleish fringing. Still going in my favorites though. :)

Good lighting and good choice of text and font....

This is my second pass at this. Im bumping this up a mark. I can see no reflections and the lighting is really stunning. Only thing I would do different is turn the ring a bit so its face on. I am predicting a top 10 finish for this one. Good job. 7

Did you neat image this at all?

There are weird spos in the image where it looks completely like there was noise reduction, then there are other spots where there's a ton of noise. It's kind of odd.

It's such a beautiful image, but I think it could use more grain. Parts look to smooth. Still a really awesome photo, and should've place higher.

Very cool backround and reflection on the ring. It makes this otherwise 'normal' picture special.

Nice, would have liked to see some sparkle directly represented on the stones.

Very nice composition. I could definitely see this in a magazine ad.
