Greetings from the Critique Club!

I like this shot, this is the kind of thing I've done in the past. The use of a backlit shell to frame the nicely lit and detailed ring works well, and the focus on the ring is tack. Nice wotrk, and the b/w seems to bring out the best in the shell and and ring.

To me the image looks a bit on the small side, never be afraid to make the most of the size limits here. The larger the better.

Feel free to PM me

I really like this imagery. Like a pirate treasure or something of that nature. The shell gives really good diagonal movement too
