Awesome lights and the color really makes this a good shot.

I like the way the light is caught on the right edge of the ring. However, I'm distracted by the reflection on your foreground. It would also be helpful if the leading edge of the ring had some more light on it. You can't really see the band.

I think this huge rock is just to much, showing more of the ring would clearly identify it as a ring, just my thoughts

Wow - this jumps off the page at me!
Clarity & cut - no wait that would be rating a diamond - the clarity & detail here look pretty good and from the number of stone facets, a nightmare to shoot without reflections, which are very present in the shiny surface this was shot on.
Had you placed this on black velvet, a black mirror or similar, I think it would have looked a bit better and the distractions in the foreground (reflections) wouldn't be so strong. Not sure the font style works for me, but a minor thing really. (6)

Wow! Great color and clarity! Very nice. Even a starburst to boot... Can't decide if I like the reflection or not - guess it's ok. Anyway, best of luck in the challenge.

The ring appears to be floating in space too much. The reflection feels to take more away from the picture than it gives.

Good lighting on the diamonds. Ring not enough lit I think. One side of the ring is in almost total darkness. Reflection too dim; it's distracting instead of usefull. A more intense reflection or none at all would have been better.

Too much of the ring is dark. Like the layout. If a bit brighter, it would be much better.
