To me this looks a bit too weird. It looks like the rings are falling down the table. Strange balance.
Other than that I like the red vs. metallic color. DOF is a bit too narrow.

excellent image... the lighting here works very well.. I also think that this is perfect use of DOF. The brushed metal detail is showing through nicely... looks like a great advertisement photo :) - jmsetzler

Took me awhile to tell exactly what I was looking at here. I'm still not 100% sure, but looks like ear rings? I get the point of them being a birthday present making them new, but was there a box they came in? The bottom of the photo is pretty fuzzy. This could have been minimalized with a vertical shot rather than a diagnal shot. The glare from the lighting source is a little much, could you have bounced the flash? I know it's not possible to do that with my camera, so I can relate to exaggerated reflection. Something that I found that helped out my photos is to take the photo outside and use a thin white canopy between the sun and the subject. Or if the photo is taken indoors, put a thin tissue paper or cheesecloth between the light source and the subject. I even got a desirable result from taping a thin piece of white cloth directly onto the flash on my camera. Seemed to spread the light out a bit and make it less reflective in the photo. I liked the idea behind this photo very much and gave it above average rating. Great job and good luck in the challenge.

Personally, the angle doesn't enhance the photo. The photo is well done without it. I especially like the back lighting you did so well. crisa58
