Greetings from the Critique Club.

I really like this image - good idea, well executed.

The composition is perfect - the white space around the rings just makes the shot. Simple and effective, with good lighting and a good background. I like the slight blue/greenish tinge, and the level of sharpening seems just right - the shapes are clear, but still have a nice soft focus fitting for the subject.

There seems to be a bit of noise in the lower right corner, maybe running it through Neat Image would have helped?

Anyway, very good image. The only thing is - the topic has a great emotional potential, which I'm not sure this really taps into... It looks perfect and stylised, but maybe a bit cold, I'm not sure anything genuinely draws the viewer into the idea.

That's about all I can think of. PM me if you have any questions.

Jelena

A lot of extra white space IMHO. Nice technically but no real wow factor.
